A cylinder has a base radius of 4 meters and a height of 20 meters. What is its volume in cubic meters, to the nearest tenths place?

To calculate the volume of a cylinder, you can use the formula: \( V = \pi r^2 h \). In this case, the base radius \( r \) is 4 meters and the height \( h \) is 20 meters. Plugging in the values, we get \( V = \pi (4^2)(20) = \pi (16)(20) = 320\pi \). This gives you an approximate volume of about 1005.3 cubic meters when you multiply by \( \pi \) (using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \)), so the volume rounded to the nearest tenths place is 1005.3 cubic meters. Remember that when calculating volume for any three-dimensional shape, paying attention to the units is crucial! Always double-check your measurements to ensure you’re working with the same units throughout the calculation.
