The diameter of a cylindrical construction pipe is 6 ft. If the pipe is 35 ft long, what is its volume?
Use the value 3.14 for radius, and round your answer to the nearest whole number. Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer
First, we need to find the radius of the pipe. The diameter is given as 6 ft, so the radius is half of that:
Radius = 6 ft / 2 = 3 ft
Now, we can calculate the volume of the cylinder using the formula V = πr^2h, where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height (length) of the cylinder:
V = 3.14 * (3 ft)^2 * 35 ft
V = 3.14 * 9 ft^2 * 35 ft
V = 282.6 ft^3
Rounding to the nearest whole number, the volume of the cylindrical construction pipe is approximately 283 cubic feet.
