Chapter 12.3, Problem 32WE

To determine

To calculate: The volume and draw the sketch

Answer to Problem 32WE

The volume of the prism is 1440 $c{m}^3$

  

Explanation of Solution

Given information: Consider the given information,

A cylinder is inscribed in a regular square prism

Height = 10 cm

Base edge = 6 cm

  $\pi \approx 3.14$

Formula used: Consider the given formula,

r = radius, h = height

Volume = Base area $\times$ height

Calculation : Consider the given information the formula is,

Side of the square $=2\times 6=12cm$

The volume of prism $={(12)}^2\times 10$ $=1440$ $c{m}^3$
