Question

Hondo wants to buy a rain barrel saw for the volume of the barrel at the height is 37 inches and the diameter is 22 inches. What would be the answer?

Answer 1

To calculate the volume of a rain barrel in the shape of a cylinder, you would use the formula V = πr^2h, where r is the radius of the base (which is half of the diameter) and h is the height of the barrel.

Given that the height of the barrel is 37 inches and the diameter is 22 inches, the radius would be half of the diameter, so r = 22/2 = 11 inches.

Now plug these values into the formula:

V = π(11)^2(37)
V = π(121)(37)
V = 4477π

So, the volume of the rain barrel would be 4477π cubic inches.
