answer

Explanation:

Step1: Find the radius of the base

The diameter of the base is \(d = 20\) in. The radius \(r=\frac{d}{2}\), so \(r=\frac{20}{2}=10\) in.

Step2: Use the formula for the volume of a cylinder

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is \(V=\pi r^{2}h\). Substitute \(r = 10\) in and \(h=6\) in. Then \(V=\pi\times(10)^{2}\times6\).
First, calculate \((10)^{2}=100\). Then \(V=\pi\times100\times6 = 600\pi\).
Using \(\pi\approx3.14\), we have \(V\approx600\times3.14=1884.0\)

Answer:

\(1884.0\)
