Answer: 1.75 cubic feet concrete is needed.

Explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

The volume of the pillar is :
\pi r^2h

We have given the height is 5 feet.

We have given the diameter is 4 inches.

So the radius will be :
(4)/(2)=2 \ inches

Converting inches into feet.

The radius will be :
(2)/(12) \ feet
= 0.167 feet

So the volume of the cylinder will be :
\pi * 0.167^2*5

So the volume of the cylinder will be :
0.4380 \ cubic \ feet

As there are 4 pillars, so total volume will be :
4*0.4380

So, total volume will be :
1.75 \ cubic \ feet

Hence 1.75 cubic feet concrete is needed. : Answer

Hope it will help :)
