no

baldymcgee6 · Answer

Lets assume that the finger of the statue of liberty is a cylinder.

anonymous · Answer

so  i wouuld use the volume of a cylinder to solve?

baldymcgee6 · Answer

Sure. Do you know the formula for the volume of a cylinder?

anonymous · Answer

v= pi r2 h

baldymcgee6 · Answer

if you mean V = pi*r^2*h, then yes.
You need to use the circumference given to find r.

anonymous · Answer

so  3.5 is the circumference how would i do that

baldymcgee6 · Answer

well if C = pi*d, then C = pi*2*r, then 3.5 = pi*2*r
Solve for r.

anonymous · Answer

so it would be 21.98

baldymcgee6 · Answer

r = 3.5/(pi*2) = ?
