A cylinder has a height of 1 meter and a radius of 2 meters. What is its volume? Use л≈
3.14 and round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
cubic meters



Answer :

To find the volume of a cylinder, we use the formula:

[tex]\[ \text{Volume} = \pi \times \text{radius}^2 \times \text{height} \][/tex]

Given the specific values:
- Height ([tex]\( h \)[/tex]) = 1 meter
- Radius ([tex]\( r \)[/tex]) = 2 meters
- [tex]\[ \pi \approx 3.14 \][/tex]

Let's go through the calculation step-by-step.

1. Square the Radius:
[tex]\[ \text{radius}^2 = 2^2 = 4 \][/tex]

2. Multiply by Pi:
[tex]\[ \pi \times 4 \approx 3.14 \times 4 = 12.56 \][/tex]

3. Multiply by the Height:
[tex]\[ 12.56 \times 1 = 12.56 \][/tex]

So, the volume of the cylinder is approximately [tex]\( 12.56 \)[/tex] cubic meters.

Therefore, the volume of the cylinder is [tex]\( \boxed{12.56} \)[/tex] cubic meters.
