Solutions below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cylinder Formulas

Lets define the required formulas for the question regarding the cylinder.

The base of the cylinder is a circle, therefore the formula for the circumference of the base is:

[tex]2\pi r[/tex]

The formula for the volume of the cylinder is:

[tex]\pi r^{2} h[/tex]

Question

a) Given from the question, the circumference of the base is [tex]10\pi[/tex] mm.

Therefore, we can use the circumference formula to find radius of the base.

[tex]2\pi r = 10\pi \\2r = 10\\r = \frac{10}{2} \\r = 5mm[/tex]

b) With all the parameters given, we can find the volume of the cylinder.

Volume of the Cylinder =

[tex]\pi r^{2} h\\= \pi (5)^{2} (4)\\= 100\pi mm^{3} \\= 314.2mm^{3} (nearest\ tenth)[/tex]
