------------
V+=+pi%2A%28r%5E2%29%2Ah
V+=+pi%2A9%2A16
V = 144*pi
V = 452 cubic inches
-------
You probably used the diameter, not the radius.

The volume of a right circular cylinder is given by:
V+=+pi%2Ar%5E2%2Ah Using 3.14 to approximate pi and r+=+D%2F2=6%2F2+=+3 and h+=+16, we get:
V+=+%283.14%29%283%29%5E2%2816%29
V+=+452Cubic inches.
