#307.91# #cm^3# rounded to nearest hundredth

Explanation:

Volume #= pi*r*r*h#

#V = pi*3.3*3.3*9#

#V = 307.91#

#~~307.91# #"cm"^3#

Explanation:

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is #pir^2h#, where:
#quadr = "radius"#
#quadquad# and
#quadh = "height"#

In this question, we have the diameter of the circle, also meaning twice the radius. Let's divide the diameter by #2# to get the radius:
#quad6.6/2 = 3.3# cm

We also have the height, which is #9.0# cm, so now let's plug it into the formula;
#quad=> pi(3.3)^2(9.0)#

Simplify:
#quad=> pi(10.89)(9.0)#

Final answer:
#quadcolor(red)(~~307.91)# #color(red)("cm"^3)#

Hope this helps!
