Answer:

17.8 cm³

Explanation:

The radius of the roll is half the diameter, so is 9 mm. The length of the roll of 50 dimes is 1.4·50 mm = 70 mm. With these dimensions, we can use the formula for the volume of a cylinder:

V = πr²h = π(9 mm)²(70 mm) = 5670π mm³ ≈ 17,812.8 mm³

Perhaps a more convenient unit of measure is cm³. Each cm³ is 1000 mm³, so the volume of a roll of dimes is approximately ...

V ≈ 17.8 cm³
