This sounds like a cylinder. Since the diameter is 10, the radius is r=10%2F2=5


V=pi%2Ar%5E2%2Ah Start with the volume of a cylinder formula.


V=pi%2A%285%29%5E2%2816%29 Plug in r=5 and h=16.


V=%283.14159265%29%285%29%5E2%2816%29 Replace pi with 3.14159265 (note: Use more digits of pi to get better accuracy).


V=%283.14159265%29%2825%29%2816%29%29 Square 5 to get 25.


V=1256.63706 Multiply 3.14159265, 25 and 16 to get 1256.63706 (this value is approximate).


V=1256.637 Round to the nearest thousandth.
