Description
A steel rod is 1/2 inch in diameter and 58 feet long. What is its volume. Use 3.14 round to the nearest tenth
Explanation & Answer
Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!
To find the volume of the steel rod, you need to use the equation for a cylinder:
V=(3.14)*(r^2)*(h) This is V=area of circular base * height of rod
r=radius of circular base
h=height of rod
Before using the equation you need to make sure all the units are the same, in this case, inches. And calculate the radius from the diameter.
r=(1/2)*d=(1/2)*(1/2)=0.25 inches
h=58 feet * (12 inches / 1 foot) = 696 inches
Now plug into the formula:
V=(3.14)*(0.25^2)*(696)
V=136.59
Volume=136.6 inches^3
