Question

A gardener has a cylindrical planter that has a radius of 12 inches and is 2 feet deep. What is the approximate number of cubic feet of potting soil that he will need to fill the planter

Answer 1

Answer:

6.28feet^3

Step-by-step explanation:

So in this question it is asking for the volume of the planter/cylinder.

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is πr^2h.

First off we need to convert the inches to feet and 12 inches is 1 foot so it is 1 foot.

So the 1 foot is the radius and the 2 feet is the height.

So just plug those two numbers in and you will get 6.28 feet^3.
