Question

What is the volume of the composite figure if both the height and the diameter of the cylinder are 3.5 feet? Give the exact answer and approximate to two decimal places.

Answer 1

Volume of composite figure = 44.9 feet³

Explanation:

Given:

Height of cylinder = 3.5 feet

Diameter of cylinder = 3.5 feet

Diameter of hemisphere = 3.5 feet

Find:

Volume of composite figure

Computation:

Radius of cylinder and sphere = 3.5/2 = 1.75 feet

Volume of composite figure = Volume of cylinder + Volume of hemisphere

Volume of composite figure = πr²h + (2/3)πr³

Volume of composite figure = (3.14)(1.75)²(3.5) + (2/3)(3.14)(1.75)³

Volume of composite figure = (3.14)(3.0625)(3.5) + (2/3)(3.14)(5.359375)

Volume of composite figure = 33.656875 + 11.2189583

Volume of composite figure = 44.8758

Volume of composite figure = 44.9 feet³
