1. dV/dr = 8pir*dr/dr
which at r = 6 is 8pi(6)
=48pi

2. actually the answer is 64pi ft^3/ft.
can you figure out what you did wrong? thanks.

3. Nope, for the data you gave me the answer is 48pi

this is a very straighforward question,
to have an answer of 64 pi, perhaps you were to find the rate when r = 8.

4. sorry. yes, r should be equal to 8. Thanks.
