The volume of a tree stump can be modeled by considering it as a right cylinder. Ashley measures its height as 1.2 ft and its radius as 20 in. Find the volume of the stump in cubic inches. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.
First, we need to convert the height and radius to the same unit. Since the radius is given in inches and height is given in feet, we need to convert the height to inches.
1 ft = 12 in
So, the height of the stump in inches is:
1.2 ft * 12 in/ft = 14.4 in
Now, we can calculate the volume of the stump:
Volume = π * radius^2 * height
Volume = π * (20 in)^2 * 14.4 in
Volume ≈ 9037.4 cubic inches
Therefore, the volume of the tree stump is approximately 9037.4 cubic inches.
