What is the volume in cubic inches of a cylinder that has a height of 1 meter and a radius of 10 inches?

Answer 1

To do this, you first need to convert the height into inches, so we're working with consistent units. 1 metre converts to 39.37 inches, so we can rewrite the question as what is the volume of a cylinder height 39.37 inches and radius 10 inches.

First find the cross-sectional area:

=pi(r2)

=pi(100)

=314.159

Then multiply this by the height

314.159 x 39.37 = 12,368

And so the volume is 12,400 inches3
