Answer 1

1.96

Explanation:

i just took the test and got it right.

Answer 2

Data:
v (volume) = ?
h (height) = 2.5 ft
r (radius) = 0.5 ft
Adopting:
`\pi \approx 3.14`

Formula:

`V = h* \pi *r^2`

Solving:

`V = h* \pi *r^2`

`V = 2.5*3.14*0.5^2`

`V = 2.5*3.14*0.25`

`V = 1.9625 \to\:\boxed{\boxed{V \approx 2\:cubic\:feet}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark`
