Question

A hallow metal pipe has an outer diameter of 3 inches and a thickness of 1/4 inch. The length of the pipe is 12 inches. Compute the amount of material needed to make the pipe.

Answer 1

Explanation:

I don"t really know the answer but i might have and explanation to help. Hollow everyday circular objects appear differently than drawn two-dimensional circles. Objects like pipes and hoses have two different diameters. The outside diameter measures the distance of a straight line from one point on the outside of the object, through its center, and to an opposite point on the outside. The internal diameter measures the inside of the object. Calculating the internal diameter depends on the outside diameter and the thickness of the outer circle.
