Answer:

The volume of the cylinder is 120.10 square feet.

Explanation:

Given that the radius of a cylindrical construction pipe is 1.5 ft, to determine its volume if the pipe is 17 ft long, the following calculation must be performed, knowing that the volume of a cylinder arises from multiplying the number pi by the radius at square of the cylinder, and that result by the height of the same:

3.14 x 1.5 ^ 2 x 17 = X

3.14 x 2.25 x 17 = X

7.065 x 17 = X

120.105 = X

Thus, the volume of the cylinder is 120.10 square feet.
