Question

solve the problem. use 3.14 for pie, and round your answer to the nearest tenth.
the foundation for a cylindrical flower bed is a cylinder 17 feet in diameter and 5 feet high. how much concrete is needed to pour the foundation?
a. 533.8 cu. ft
b. 2268.7 cu. ft
c. 1134.3 cu. ft
d. 4537.3 cu. ft

Answer 1

The solution to the problem is as follows:

Volume of Cylinder
 
V = pi*r^2*h
 
In this case, pi = 3.14 approximately

r = 8.5 (divide the diameter 17 in half)
 
h = 5

Use your calculator to calculate the required value and thats it!

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
