Question

numeric 1 point gunnar has a watering bowl that is shaped like a right circular cylinder. the bowl is 10 inches (in.) in diameter and has a height of 6.5 in. find the volume of the bowl. use 22/7 for pi and round to the nearest hundredth. answer

Explanation:

Step1: Find the radius

The diameter $d = 10$ inches, so the radius $r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{10}{2}=5$ inches.

Step2: Use the volume formula for a cylinder

The volume formula for a cylinder is $V=\pi r^{2}h$. Substitute $r = 5$ inches, $h=6.5$ inches and $\pi=\frac{22}{7}$.
$V=\frac{22}{7}\times5^{2}\times6.5=\frac{22}{7}\times25\times6.5$.
$V=\frac{22\times25\times6.5}{7}=\frac{22\times162.5}{7}=\frac{3575}{7}\approx510.71$ cubic - inches.

Answer:

$510.71$
