A certain marine engine has cylinders that are 4.35 inches in diameter and 5.72 inches deep. Find the total volume of 8 cylinders (Use 3.14 for * as needed. Round to the
nearest hundredth).
To find the volume of a cylinder, we need to multiply the base area (π * radius^2) by the height.
First, let's calculate the radius of the cylinder:
The diameter is given as 4.35 inches, so the radius is half of that: 4.35 / 2 = 2.175 inches.
Now, let's find the base area of the cylinder:
The formula for the area of a circle is π * radius^2. Plugging in the values: π * (2.175)^2 = 14.885 inches^2.
Next, let's find the volume of one cylinder:
The volume of a cylinder is given by the formula base area * height: 14.885 * 5.72 = 85.11 cubic inches.
Finally, let's find the total volume of 8 cylinders:
Since we have 8 cylinders, the total volume is 8 * 85.11 = 680.88 cubic inches.
Therefore, the total volume of 8 cylinders is approximately 680.88 cubic inches.
