Question 619686
Hi, there---
.
The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V=[pi]*r^2*h, where r is the radius and h is the height (or the depth in your case.) We'll use 3.1417 for pi
.
You are given the dimensions:
diameter: 3.01 inches
depth: 5.09 inches
.
The radius of a circle is half the diameter, so the radius of the cylinders is 3.01/2=1.505 inches
.
Using the volume formula, substitute the known values, and simplify.
{{{V=(3.1417)*(1.505)^2*5.09}}}
{{{V=36.22}}}
.
We now know that the volume of one cylinder is approximately 36.22 cubic inches.
.
To find the volume of four cylinders, multiply this value by 4.
.
Hope this helps. Feel free to email; if you have questions about this,
