A group of six kids found a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The pot was full of cylindrical shaped gold coins. The friends decide to take home seven gold coins each. Using the dimensions below, find the total volume of gold coins that the friends take back home with them. The height is 1 cm and the diameter is 4 cm. What is the volume of one coin? What is the total volume of all coins they take back?

The volume of a cylinder is given by the formula V = πr^2h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height.

The diameter of the gold coins is 4 cm, so the radius is half of that, or 2 cm. The height is given as 1 cm.

The volume of one coin can be calculated as follows:

V = πr^2h = π(2 cm)^2(1 cm) = 4π cm^3

Therefore, the volume of one coin is 4π cubic centimeters.

If each of the six kids takes seven coins, then the total number of coins taken is 6 × 7 = 42 coins.

The total volume of all the coins they take back can be calculated as follows:

Total volume = volume of one coin × number of coins

Total volume = 4π cm^3 × 42

Total volume = 168π cubic centimeters

Therefore, the total volume of all the gold coins they take back is 168π cubic centimeters.
