You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hello,
Let's put the measurements in yards to begin with so the height is 8/3 yards and the diameter is 4 yards.
The formula for the volume of a cylinder is:
V = pi (radius squared)height
pi = 3.14
radius squared = 4 yards
height = 8/3 yards
With the numbers it looks like this:
V = 3.14 (2 squared) 8/3 yards (change 8/3 to decimal = 2.67 approx)
V = 3.14 (4) 2.67
Answer: Volume = 33.54 Cubic yards
