Question 1178023: if a solid steel cylindrical rod is 8 cm in length and has a diameter of 2.5 cm and steel weigh 7.847 g/cm^3, how much does the rod weigh? round the answer to the nearest gram

i know 3.149(2.5^2)(8) is for the volume ... i think... then i would multiply that answer by the 7.847 f/cm^3 right?
