Cylinder and Volume Question's





I solve the problem like this
a) V=pi.r.r.h
V=(3.14x3.5x3.5)x23
V=78.5x25
V=1806.5cm^3

b)V=pi.r.r.h
V=(3.14x14x14)x12
V=61.44x12
V=7385.28cm^3

c) V=pi.r.r.h
V=(3.14x0.5x0.5)x1.5
V=12.75x1.5
V=19.125cm^3




R=D/2
D=0.8
o.8/2=R
R=0.4cm^3

V=pi.r.r.h
V=(3.14xo.4xo.4)x10
V=o.5024x10
V=5.024m^3
