Explanation:

Step1: Recall volume formula for cylinder

$V = \pi r^2 h$

Step2: Substitute given values

$V = \pi \times 6^2 \times 15$

Step3: Calculate base area

$6^2 = 36$, so $36 \times 15 = 540$

Step4: Compute volume

$V = 540\pi \approx 540 \times 3.1416 \approx 1696.46$

Step5: Round to nearest tenth

$1696.5$

Answer:

1696.5
