A cylindrical barrel has a height of 6 feet and a diameter of 8 feet. What is the approximate volume of the barrel?

A. 48 cubic feet

B. 301 cubic feet

C. 1206 cubic feet

D. 96 cubic feet

Answer:

B. 301 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

(see attached for reference)

the volume of a cylinder is given as

V = πr²h

where

r = radius

= Diameter/2

=  8/2

= 4 feet

h = height (given as 6 feet)

π =3.14

substituting these values into the equation,

V = πr²h

= 3.14 x 4² x 6

= 301.44

= 301 ft³  (nearest whole number)
