Question

Divers erected a cage in a shape of an upright cylinder on rhe ocean floor for protection. The diameter of the base measures 32 feet. How much space on the ocean floor does the cage have

Answer 1

The cage will cover an area of 805 ft^2 on the Ocean floor

Explanation:

To calculate the amount of space the cage has on the Ocean floor, we calculate the area of the base of the cylinder

Mathematically, that will be pi * d^2/4

= 22/7 * (32 * 32)/4

= 22/7 * 256 = 804.5714285714286

The cage will cover an area of 805 ft^2 on the ocean floor
