Question

 A company makes steel rods shaped like cylinders. Each rod has a radius of 2 centimeters and a height of 60 centimeters. If the company used 54,259.2 cm3 of steel, how many rods did it make? Use 3.14 do not round your answer +Help me plz

Answer 1

72 rods

Explanation:

First, find the volume of each rod, using the formula V =
`\pi`r²h

Plug in pi, the radius, and height, and solve:

V =
`\pi`r²h

V = (3.14)(2²)(60)

V = (3.14)(4)(60)

V = 753.6

So, each rod has 753.6 cm³ of steel.

Divide 54,259.2 by this to find how many rods it will make:

54,259.2 / 753.6

= 72

So, it will make 72 rods.
