Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for volume of a cylinder is pi times radius squared times height.

V = πr^2h

These are our values for the terms.

π = 3.14

r = 3

h = 8

Now, we have to plug the values in.

V = 3.14 (3^2) 8

Then, we can solve for the volume.

V = 3.14 (9) 8

V = 3.14 x 72

V = 226.08

If you want it in pi it would be 72π.

However the volume is 226.08 inches^3.
