A cylindrical storage container has a radius of 8 inches and a height of 18 inches. What is the volume of the storage container?

A. in³

B. in³

C. in³

D. in³

Use the formula for the volume of a cylinder.

V = area of the base * height

area of the base = π (radius) ^2

V = π (radius) ^2 * height = π (8 in) ^2 (18in) = 1,152π in^3

If you use π≈3.14, you get

V = 3,617.28 in^3
