Garrett Nichols · Answer 1

To find the approximately volume you will use the formula for finding the volume of a cylinder:

V = pi x r^2 x h

3.14 x 0.5^2 x 21

V = 16.485

The volume is approximately 16.49 cubic inches.

John Cantu · Answer 2

The answer is 16.49.

The volume of a cylinder is given by

V=πr²h.

For this volume, we have:

V=3.14 (0.5²) (21) = 16.485 ≈ 16.49
