A cylindrical piece of iron pipe is shown below. The wall of the pipe is 1.25 inch thick.
What is the approximate inside volume of the pipe? (5 points) Select one: a. 88 cubic inches b. 49 cubic inches c. 142 cubic inches d. 154 cubic inches
do i have to use the volume formula
area of a circle multiplied by height, is how you get a volume of a cylinder
|dw:1392368736686:dw|
Use that
The space you have to measure is a cylinder. Its height is the same as the height of the pipe, 16 inches. Its diameter =inner diameter of pipe = outer diameter of pipe - thickness of walls at each end of diameter = 6 - 2×1.25 = 3.5 inches radius r = 1.75 inches A cross-section of the cylindrical space is a circle. area of circle = πr² = 3.0625π in² volume = area of circle × height = 3.0625π×16 = 49π ≅ 154 in³
thnx
Anytime.
Hope you understood that.
