The volume of a cylinder is found using the formula V = πr^2^h. Using π = 5, r = 10 and h = 10. Find the volume V.

Probably a test meant to be done without a calculator.

... at least make it =3

That's the biggest slap in the face here. It's not 3 or 4, but 5. What the fuck

Considering that the r and h are 10, you could still easily do it without calculator, even if the value of pi had plenty of decimals.

You guys are really overestimating the students this test was made for lol

Yeah it's not hard, but if the instructor just wants to test if you can follow directions and plug extremely simple numbers into an equation without a calculator then this is fine. I'd almost expect this on a test for some trade skill, like some 1-2 year certification you know?
