Question

Captain Howard had his crew paint the smokestack on his ship the Sea Snail. The smokestack is shaped like a cylinder and is 40 feet 2 inches tall. The radius of the smokestack's base is nine feet. What is the volume of the smokestack?

Answer 1

To find the volume of the smokestack, you can use the formula for the volume of a cylinder, which is:

Volume = π * radius^2 * height

First, convert the height from feet and inches to just feet:
40 feet 2 inches = 40.167 feet (since 1 inch is equal to 1/12 of a foot)

Now, you can calculate the volume using the given values:
Radius = 9 feet
Height = 40.167 feet

Volume = π * (9 feet)^2 * 40.167 feet
Volume ≈ 10,218.27 cubic feet

So, the volume of the smokestack is approximately 10,218.27 cubic feet.

Hope I helped :)
