Which is closest to the volume of a cylinder with a height of 11 inches and
a circumference of 8 1/2 inches?
a 47 in 3
b 63 in 3
c 94 in. 3
d 252 in. 3

The closest to the volume of cylinder is 63 in.³.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cylinder with a height of 11 inches and  a circumference of 8 1/2 inches.

Now, to find the volume.

As circumference is given we get the radius by putting formula:

Circumference = 8 1/2 inches = 17/2 inches.

Let the radius be

Taking the value of π = 3.14.

Dividing both sides by 6.28 we get:

So, radius = 1.35 inches.

Height = 11 inches.

Now, putting the formula to get the volume:

Hence, the volume of cylinder = 63 inches³ (approximately).

Therefore, the closest to the volume of cylinder is 63 in.³.
