Question 204156: Solve the problem. Use 3.14 for π. Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary.
A cylindrical drain pipe is 6 in. across the top and about 12 in. high. How many cubic inches of water could it hold?

The volume of a cylinder is
V = pi*r^2*h, which is the cross-sectional area times the height.
V = 3.14*3^2*12
V = 3.14*9*12
V = ~ 339.12 cubic inches
