Question

A cylindrical pipe has a length of 2.4 m and an internal diameter of 30 cm. What is the largest object that

could fit in the pipe? Give your answer correct to the nearest cm.
and please explain how you get the answer.​

Answer 1

A = 169646cm²

Explanation:

Find the internal area of the pipe.

A = height(π × radius²) = h(πr²)

Plug in values. (radius = diameter/2 ⇒ r = 30/2 = 15cm) (2.4m = 240cm)

A = 240(π15²)

A = 169646cm²
