Step 1: List the figures in the composite image:

The composite image consists of a cylinder and a hemisphere.

Therefore, the volume V is given by


V\text{ =}\pi r^2((2)/(3)r+h)

where


\begin{gathered} \text{radius}=(diameter)/(2)=(18)/(2)=9\text{ inch} \\ \text{height = (30-9) inches} \\ \text{height =21 inches} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the volume is


\begin{gathered} V=\pi(9)^2((2)/(3)*9+21) \\ V=\pi*81(6+21) \\ V=\pi(2187) \\ So\text{ the volume = 2187}\pi\text{ in}^3 \end{gathered}

Option D is correct
