Answer:

10831 mm³

Explanation:

The volume of any solid figure with a uniform cross section parallel to the base can be found using the volume formula ...

V = Bh

where B is the area of the base, and h is the height perpendicular to the base.

Base area

The base of this cylindrical stack of pennies is a circle of diameter 19.05 mm. The area formula for a circle in terms of diameter is ...

A = (π/4)d²

The stack of pennies has a base area of ...

A = (π/4)(19.05 mm)² ≈ 285.023 mm²

Volume

The volume formula tells us the stack of pennies has a volume of ...

V = Bh

V = (285.023 mm²)(38 mm) ≈ 10830.9 mm³

The volume of the stack of pennies is approximately 10831 mm³.
