The radius of a cylindrical construction pipe is 2.5 ft. If the pipe is 23ft long, what is its volume?
Use the value 3.14 for π, and round your answer to the nearest whole number.
Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.
The formula to calculate the volume of a cylinder is V = πr^2h, where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height (length in this case).
Given:
r = 2.5 ft
h = 23 ft
π ≈ 3.14
Plugging in the values, we get:
V = 3.14 * (2.5)^2 * 23
V = 3.14 * 6.25 * 23
V = 3.14 * 143.75
V ≈ 451 ft³
Rounded to the nearest whole number, the volume of the cylindrical construction pipe is 451 cubic feet.
