Question 295163
The container is a cylindrical solid.


Don't know why you call it over-sized but that might not make a difference.


It's diameter is 2 meters.


It's height is 3 meters.


It's radius is 1 meter which is one half the diameter.


The area of its base is presumed to be a circle which would be equal to {{{pi*r^2}}}.


Substitute 1 for r to get Area of the Base = {{{pi}}}.


Since {{{pi}}} = 3.141592654, then the Area of the Base = 3.141592654 square meters.


The volume of the container would be equal to the Area of the Base Times the Height, which would then be equal to:


3.141592654 * 3 = 9.424777961 cubic meters.


The formula for the volume of the container is {{{pi*r^2*h}}}.


Since {{{pi*r^2}}} is the formula for the area of the base, then the formula for the volume of the container becomes:


Area of the Base * Height.
