Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a cylinder is given by :
[tex]V=\pi r^2 h[/tex] ...(1)
r is radius and h is height of the cylinder
The diameter of a cylinder = 5 inches
Radius = 5/2 = 2.5 inches
Part A :
Put r = 2.5 inch in equation (1)
[tex]V=\pi (2.5)^2 h\\\\=6.25\pi h\ \text{inches}^3[/tex] .....(2)
Part B :
Put h = 3 in equation (2) as follows :
[tex]V(3)=6.25\pi \times 3\\\\=18.75\pi \text{inches}^3[/tex]
Part C:
V(3) represents the volume of the cylinder when its height is 3 inches.
Hence, this is the required solution.
