Question

8. A cylindrical basket has a volume of 15cubic feet. If the height of the basket is 1.5feet, what is the area of the base of thebasket?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

The volume of the cylinder is given as;

`V=\pi r^2h`

Recall that the radius of the cylinder is given as 3 inches while the height of the cylinder is three times the radius.

`\text{Height}=\text{ 3}* radius=3*3=9inches`

Therefore, the volume of the cylinder becomes;

`V=\pi*3*3*9=81\pi=254.47\text{ cubic inches}`

Answer: 254.5 cubic inches
