Question

compute the volume of a right circular cylinder with an altitude of 0.40 meter and a base area of 0.30 square meter. 0.12 sq m 0.12 cu m 0.12 m 0.012 cu m

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for the volume of a right circular cylinder

The volume \( V \) of a right circular cylinder is given by the formula \( V = A \times h \), where \( A \) is the base area and \( h \) is the height (altitude) of the cylinder.

Step2: Substitute the given values into the formula

We are given that the base area \( A = 0.30 \, \text{square meter} \) and the altitude \( h = 0.40 \, \text{meter} \). Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
\( V = 0.30 \, \text{m}^2 \times 0.40 \, \text{m} \)

Step3: Perform the multiplication

Calculating the product: \( 0.30 \times 0.40 = 0.12 \). The units for volume will be cubic meters (since we multiplied square meters by meters), so \( V = 0.12 \, \text{cu m} \) (where "cu m" stands for cubic meters).

Answer:

0.12 cu m (corresponding to the option "0.12 cu m")
