Correct Answer:
C. 502 cm³
The volume of a cylinder is a fundamental concept in geometry, calculated using its radius and height.
- Correct Answer: 502 cm³. The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V = πr²h. Given the base radius (r) is 4 cm and the height (h) is 10 cm, we substitute these values: V = π * (4 cm)² * 10 cm = π * 16 cm² * 10 cm = 160π cm³. Using the approximation π ≈ 3.14, the volume is approximately 160 * 3.14 = 502.4 cm³. Option C is the closest whole number.
- Distractors A, B, and D represent incorrect calculations, possibly due to using a wrong formula, incorrect values, or different approximations for π.
Accurate application of geometric formulas is key to solving such problems.
