Write a function rule for the volume of the cylinder shown at the right with a height 3 in more than 4 times the radius of the cylinder's base. What is the volume of the cylinder when it has a radius of 2 in?

Verified Answer :

Volume of a cylinder = π r² h

radius = 2 inches
height = 3 inches more than 4 times the radius. 4(2) + 3 = 8 + 3 = 11 inches

Volume of a cylinder = 3.14 (2in)² 11 inches
Volume of a cylinder = 3.14 4in² 11 inches
Volume of a cylinder = 138.16 in³

we know that

The volume of a cylinder is equal to

\(V=\pi r^{2} h\)

where

r is the radius  of the base

h is the height of the cylinder

In this problem

\(h=3+4r\)

For \(r=2\ in\)

Find the value of h

\(h=3+4*2\)

\(h=11\ in\)

Find the volume of the cylinder

\(V=\pi*2^{2}*11\)

\(V=44*\pi\ in^{3}= 138.2\ in^{3}\)

therefore

the answer is

The volume of a cylinder is equal to \(138.2\ in^{3}\)
