Answer : The correct option is, (C)
226ft^3

Step-by-step explanation :

As we know that tree trunk is in cylindrical shape. So, we are applying volume of cylinder to calculate the volume of tree trunk.

Formula used :


V=\pi r^2h

where,

V = volume of tree trunk

r = radius of tree trunk = 3 feet]

h = height or length of tree trunk = 8 foot

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:


V=\pi r^2h


V=3.14* (3)^2* 8


V=226ft^3

Therefore, the volume of tree trunk is,
226ft^3
