Answer:
489.40 cm³
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the cross section is parallel to their respective bases, hence:
Area of the cylinder cross section = area of the circular base = πr²
where r is the radius of the cylinder base.
Area of other cross section = area of rectangle base = 3.8 cm * 8.1 cm
Since both cross sections have same area, hence:
Area of cylinder cross section = Area of rectangle base
πr² = 8.1 * 3.8
r² = 9.8
r = 3.1 cm
Volume of the cylinder = πr²h = π(3.1)²(15.9) = 489.40 cm³
