Question

If the Leaning Tower of Pisa has a height of 55 meters, radius of 8 meters, what is the volume?

Answer 1

11058 m³

Explanation:

This is a slanted cylinder. The volume is V = (area of base) (height), just as in the case of upright cylinders.

Here, V = πr²·h. Subbing the givens,

V = π(8 m)²·(55 m) = 11058 m³ is the volume of this building. I have rounded this result off to the nearest 1 m³.

Answer 2

3520

Explanation:

V(cylinder) = PR(squared)H

8 squared is 64pi

times 55 is 3520
