Question 386223
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">


The volume of a cylinder is the area of the base times the height.  If the base has an 8 foot diameter, then it has a 4 foot radius.  Hence the base has and area of *[tex \Large 16\pi].  Multiply that by the 10 foot height, you get *[tex \Large 160\pi] for the exact representation of the volume in cubic feet.  If you need a numeric approximation, select an approximaton of *[tex \Large \pi] to suit your need for precision and use your calculator to determine the appropriate approximation for *[tex \Large 160\pi].

*[tex \LARGE e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0]
My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
