A cylindrical container has a diameter of 6 cm and a height of 5 cm. What is the volume of this cylinder?
Explanation
The radius of the cylinder is half the diameter, so r = 3 cm, and the height h = 5 cm. The volume formula for a cylinder is V = πr²h. Substituting the values, V = π × 3² × 5 = 45 π cubic centimeters.
