V = p i z z a V = pi z z a

The volume of a right circular cylinder is given by the equation

V = A b h V=A_bh where: A b A_b = area of the base and h h = height

V = π ( 1 0 2 ) ( 1 ) 314 V = \pi(10^2)(1)\approx \color{#69047E}\large{\boxed{314}} answer \color{#3D99F6}\boxed{\text{answer}}

For a cylinder, the volume is:

V = π r 2 h V= \pi r^{2} h

With the way this problem is worded, assigning variables z z and a a makes it a bit confusing. If you simply say r = 10 r=10 and h = 1 h=1 , it's much easier to just plug those values into the formula above. This would give you:

V = π 1 0 2 1 = π 100 1 314.15 V = \pi * 10^{2} * 1 = \pi * 100 * 1 \approx 314.15

But, if you're going to use those variables, just change the formula to:

V = π z 2 a V= \pi z^{2} a

And plug the values in accordingly, which will give you the same answer.

Rounding 314.15 314.15 to the nearest integer gives you an answer of 314 314 .

V = (Base area) (Height) V = ( π z 2 ) ( a ) V = ( 100 π ) ( 1 ) V 314 \begin{aligned} V &= \text{(Base area)} \cdot \text{(Height)} \\ V &= (\pi \cdot z^2) \cdot (a) \\ V &= (100 \pi) \cdot (1) \\ V &\approx \boxed{314} \end{aligned}

The volume of a cylinder is pi * (radius) squared * height.

3.14 * 100 * 1 = 314
