The volume of the shape

We have a cylinder that is cut into two. Its external radius is 5ft, while its internal radius is 4ft.

External radius = internal radius + thickness


\begin{gathered} \text{External radius = 4ft + 1ft } \\ =\text{ 5ft} \end{gathered}

Internal radius = 4ft (given)

Recall that the volume(V) of a full cylinder is:


V\text{ = }\pi r^2h

Since the cylinder is cut into two, the volume(V) is:


V\text{ = }(\pi r^2h)/(2)

height (h) = 12ft (given)

The volume of the shape:


\begin{gathered} =\text{ Volume of cylinder with a radius of 5ft - Volume of cylinder with a radius of 4ft} \\ =\text{ }\frac{\pi\text{ }*5^2\text{ }*\text{ 12}}{2}\text{ - }\frac{\pi\text{ }*4^2\text{ }*\text{ 12}}{2} \\ =\text{ 471.239 - }301.593 \\ =169.65ft^3 \end{gathered}
