Question

The trunk of a palm tree has cylindrical tubes that carry water. Each tube is 0.0005 meters wide. How many tubes could fit in a palm tree trunk with a radius of 0.25 meters?

Answer 1

answer: 0.00000141

the formula for volume of cylinder is given as:

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

given dimensions are:

Radius = 0.0003/2 = 0.00015

Height= 20 meters

so volume will be =

3.14 * 0.00015 * 0.00015 * 20 = 1.41 * 10
`^(6)`

or 0.00000141 cubic meter
