A cylinder shaped bucket is used as a sand container. The bucket has a height of 2.5 ft and a radius of 0.5 ft.
How many cubic feet of sand does the bucket hold?
Use 3.14 to approximate pi.
Enter your answer as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth in the box.
ft³
Approximately 1.96 ft³
The formula to calculate the volume of a cylinder is V = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.
Plugging in the values:
V = 3.14 * (0.5)^2 * 2.5
V = 3.14 * 0.25 * 2.5
V = 1.9625
Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the bucket holds approximately 1.96 ft³ of sand.
