Question

If the Leaning Tower of Pisa (which is roughly cylindrical) has a height of 55 meters, radius of 8 meters, what is the volume?

A) 64π
B) 440π
C) 3520π
D) 28160π

Answer 1

3520π

Explanation:

Since the tower has the same height and same circular cross sections as a right cylinder, then the volume of the Leaning Tower of Pisa is V = πr2h = π(82)(55) = 3520π

Answer 2

Option C.
`V=3,520\pi\ m^3`

Explanation:

we know that

The volume of a cylinder is equal to

`V=\pi r^(2) h`

we have

`r=8\ m`

`h=55/ m`

substitute

`V=\pi (8)^(2) (55)`

`V=3,520\pi\ m^3`
