Answer:

A) 151 in³ or 151 cubic inches

Explanation:

Volume of rocket = Volume of Cylinder + Volume of Cone

Step 1

Find the volume of the cylinder

Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

r = Diameter/2

= 5/2 = 2.5 inches

h = 6 inches

Hence,

π × 2.5² × 6

= 117.81 cubic inches

Step 2

Find the volume of the cone

Volume of a cone =1/3 πr²h

h = 11 inches - 6 inches

= 5 inches

r = 2.5 inches

Hence,

1/3 × π × 2.5² × 5

= 32.72 cubic inches

Therefore:

Volume of rocket = Volume of Cylinder + Volume of Cone

= 117.81 cubic inches + 32.72 cubic inches

= 150.53 cubic inches

Approximately to the nearest inch = 151 in³ or 151 cubic inches

Option A is correct
