The bucket is in the form of a cylinder whose radius is 5 feet and height is 8 inches. Find the volume of the cylinder.
40π cubic inches
200 cubic inches
200π cubic inches
40 cubic inches
v = πr^2 h
so plug in your numbers
To find the volume of a cylinder, you can use the formula: V = πr^2h, where V represents the volume, r represents the radius, and h represents the height.
In this case, the radius of the cylinder is given as 5 feet. Since we need to find the volume in cubic inches, we need to convert feet to inches. There are 12 inches in one foot, so the radius in inches is 5 x 12 = 60 inches.
The height of the cylinder is given as 8 inches.
Now we can substitute these values into the formula and calculate the volume:
V = π(60^2)(8)
V = π(3600)(8)
V = 28800π cubic inches
So the correct answer is 28800π cubic inches. However, none of the given options match this exact answer.
If we simplify the answer by approximating π as 3.14, then the closest option would be 200π cubic inches.
Please note that if you're solving a real-world problem, it's important to use the appropriate units and consider any necessary conversions.
