A cylindrical hockey puck is 1 inch thick and has a diameter of 3 inches. What is volume of the puck?

a 3pi in^3

b 6.75pi in^3

c 9.5pi in^3

d 12pi in^3

I don't know if i'm doing something wrong, but got 5 for this, but it's not one of my answer choices

The volume of the puck =

pi * (diameter / 2)^2 * thickness of puck

So...we have

pi * ( 3 / 2)^2 * 1 =

pi * ( 9 /4) * 1 =

(9/4) pi =

2.25pi in^3

[ None of the choices are correct...]

The volume of a cylinder is given by :

pi * ( radius)^2 * height = pi * (diameter / 2) ^2 * height

Note....the thickness of the puck = height of a cylinder....
