To find the volume of the oblique cylinder, we use the formula for the volume of a cylinder, which is:

[ V = pi r^2 h ]

where ( r ) is the radius and ( h ) is the height. Since we have the slant height and the angle, we need to calculate the height ( h ) using the slant height and the angle.

1. Calculate the height (h):

The height can be found using the sine of the angle:

[

h = text{slant height} times sin(text{angle}) = 8 , text{cm} times sin(50^circ)

]

Using (sin(50^circ) approx 0.766):

[

h approx 8 times 0.766 approx 6.13 , text{cm}

]

2. Calculate the volume (V):

Now plug in the values:

[

r = 17 , text{cm}, quad h approx 6.13 , text{cm}

]

[

V = pi times (17^2) times 6.13 approx pi times 289 times 6.13 approx 1761.34 , text{cm}^3
