Question

2. What is the volume of the metal in this heavy-duty pipe? (It is not drawn to scale and the inside of the pipe is empty space.) Show all work and be sure to label your answer. Use 3.14 to estimate pi.

Answer 1

Volume of the outer cylinder = 3.14 x (1.5)² x 18 = 127.17 ft²

Volume of the inner cylinder = 3.14 x (1)² x 18 = 56.52 ft²

Volume of the pipe = 127.17 - 56.52 = 70.65 ft²

Answer: 70.65 ft²
