Problema Solution

You want to mail a piece of art. You buy a mailing tube in the shape of a cylinder. The tube is 36 inches long and has a diameter of 3 inches. What is the volume of the tube rounded to the nearest hundredth? Use 3.14 for pi.

Answer provided by our tutors

h = 36 in the height of the cylinder

d = 3 in the diameter of the cylinder

V = the volume of the cylinder


V = (d/2)^2*pi*h


V = (3/2)^2*3.14*36


V = 254.34 in^3
