Calculate the volume, in mm3, of a cylinder 5 inches tall and a diameter of 22 inches.(v = πr2h, 1 inch = 25.4 mm) Express your answer in scientific notation!

Question

Write the four steps of the Factor Label Method and use it to calculate the following:

Answer 1

v= (pi* 279.4 * 2 * 127)mm3. = 222951.291 mm3.

Walkthrough:

Let's start by converting inches to mm.

Height = 5 inches* 25.4mm/ inch = 127mm.

Diameter= 22 inches * 25.4mm/ inch = 558.8 mm.

Then let's convert Diameter to Radius.

Radius = 558.8 mm / 2 = 279.4mm.

Then "plug and chug".
