Question

Could you check this for me?

Answer 1

A wedding cake is prepared using 3 individual cakes. The first is a rectangular prism with a length thirteen inches, a width 9 inches, and a height 2 inches. The second is a cylinder with a diameter 6 inches and a height 3 inches. The third is a cube with side length 4 inches. What is the approximate total volume of the cake? Use three point one four for pi. Round to the nearest whole number.

Answer 2

i got 448.72 as the volume of the whole cake, i dont think this is right though.. could you check it?

Answer 3

i get 382.82

Answer 4

Okay i did something wrong, let me redo the question..

Answer 5

you would find the volume for each section then add them together correct?

Answer 6

yeah

prism -> 13*2*9 = 234
cylinder -> 9pi*3 = 27pi
cube -> 4*4*4 = 64

Answer 7

okay, i dont know how much i got 150.72 on the cylinder...

Answer 8

I dont know how but* i got 150.72 on the cylinder

Answer 9

volume = pi*r^2 *height

radius = 3
height = 3

Answer 10

okay i think i got it, let me redo the cylinder to see if i can do it correct

Answer 11

now i got 84.78 this time

Answer 12

yep

Answer 13
