Question

find the volume of an oblique cylinder with a base radius of 6.5 cm and a height of 17 cm. use the value 3.14 for π, and round your answer to the nearest whole number. be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall volume formula for cylinder

The volume $V$ of any cylinder (including oblique) is $V = \pi r^2 h$, where $r$ is base radius, $h$ is height.

Step2: Substitute given values

$r = 6.5$ cm, $h = 17$ cm, $\pi = 3.14$
First calculate $r^2$:
$r^2 = (6.5)^2 = 42.25$
Then calculate $\pi r^2$:
$3.14 \times 42.25 = 132.665$

Step3: Multiply by height

$V = 132.665 \times 17 = 2255.305$

Step4: Round to nearest whole number

$2255.305 \approx 2255$

Answer:

2255 cm³
