Question

A company makes steel rods shaped like cylinders. Each rod has a radius of 2 centimeters and height of 70 centimeters. How much steel will the company need to make 243 rods? Use 3.14 for pie, and round your answer to one decimal

Answer 1

Answer:

213,645.6cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a cylinder is expressed as;

V = πr²h

r is the radius = 2cm

h is the height = 70cm

Get the volume of one rod;

V = πr²h

V = (3.14)(2)²(70)

V = (3.14)(4)(70)

V = 879.2cm³

one steel = 879.2cm³

243 rods = x

Cross multiply;

x = 879.2 * 243

x = 213,645.6

The company will need 213,645.6cm³ volume of steel to make 243 rods
