Answer:

4.24m³

Explanation:

The inside diameter of 1.2 m of the pipe

Radius of the inside pipe = Diameter/2 = 1.2/2 = 0.6m

The outside diameter of 1.8 m

Radius of the outer of the pipe = 1.8/2 = 0.9m

Height of the pipe = 3.0m

A Pipe looks like the shape of the cylinder. Hence,

Volume of concrete in the pipe = Volume of the outer section of the Pipe - Volume of the inner section of the pipe

Volume of the outer section of the Pipe = πr²h

h = 3.0m

r = 0.9

= π × 0.9² × 3.0

= 7.63m³

Volume of the inner section of the Pipe = πr²h

h = 3.0m

r = 0.6

= π × 0.6² × 3.0

= 3.39m³

Volume of concrete in the pipe = Volume of the outer section of the Pipe - Volume of the inner section of the pipe

= 7.63m³ - 3.39m³

= 4.24m³

Therefore, volume of concrete in the pipe is 4.24m³
