A cylindrical barrel is 8 feet tall, and 5 feet wide at the bottom. What is the volume of the barrel?

The Volume is 157.04 ft.

V = 50π ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

That "5 ft wide at the bottom" translates into "radius of (5/2) ft."

Volume of a cylinder of radius R and height H is V = πR²H, so here,

V = π (5/2) ^2*8 ft³ or

V = π (25/4) (8) ft³, or

V = 50π ft³
