Question:

Karina has recently begun kickboxing and purchased training equipment as modeled in the diagram below. The cylindrical base is 15 inches tall with a diameter of 22 inches.

Karina wants to fill the base so that it is 85% full. What is the volume of the base that she is filling? (Find 85% of the volume).

Answer:


Section = 4847.3205\ in^3

Explanation:

Given


h = 15in -- height


d = 22in -- diameter

Required

85% of the volume

First, calculate the radius


r = (1)/(2) * d


r = (1)/(2) * 22= 11in

The volume (V) is then calculated using:


V = \pi r^2h


V = 3.142* 11^2 * 15


V = 5702.73\ in^3

85% of the volume is:


Section = 85\% * V


Section = 85\% * 5702.73\ in^3


Section = 4847.3205\ in^3
