Beyond the Answer
To find the volume of the cylinder, we start with the formula for the volume \( V \) of a cylinder, which is given by: \[ V = \pi r^2 h \] where \( r \) is the radius and \( h \) is the height. First, we convert the height from feet to a numerical value: \[ h = \frac{201}{2} = 100.5 \text{ ft} \] Next, we calculate the diameter: \[ \text{Diameter} = \frac{13}{4} \times \text{Height} = \frac{13}{4} \times 100.5 = 32.875 \text{ ft} \] Now, we can find the radius \( r \): \[ r = \frac{\text{Diameter}}{2} = \frac{32.875}{2} = 16.4375 \text{ ft} \] Now substituting \( r \) and \( h \) into the volume formula, while using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \): \[ V = 3.14 \times (16.4375)^2 \times 100.5 \] Calculating \( (16.4375)^2 \): \[ (16.4375)^2 \approx 269.1789 \] Now substituting that back into the volume equation: \[ V \approx 3.14 \times 269.1789 \times 100.5 \] Calculating \( 3.14 \times 269.1789 \): \[ 3.14 \times 269.1789 \approx 844.046 \] Now multiplying by \( 100.5 \): \[ V \approx 844.046 \times 100.5 \approx 85013.613 \] Finally, rounding to the nearest hundredth gives: \[ V \approx 85013.61 \] The volume of the cylinder is approximately \( 85013.61 \).
