The formula to calculate the volume of a cylinder is V = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.
In this case, the radius is 3 feet and the height is 15 feet.
V = π(3^2)(15)
= π(9)(15)
= 135π
Therefore, the amount of concrete used to make the column is 135π ft3.
The correct answer is C) 135π ft3
