Question

A company makes steel rods shaped like cylinders. Each rod has a radius of 2 centimeters and a height of 90 centimeters. How much steel will the company need to make 172 rods?
Use 3.14 for pi, and do not round your answer.

Answers

GPT 3.5
Volume of one cylinder = πr^2h
Volume of one rod = (3.14) x (2)^2 x 90 = 3.14 x 4 x 90 = 1130.4 cm^3

Total volume needed for 172 rods = 1130.4 cm^3 x 172 = 194328.8 cm^3

Therefore, the company will need 194328.8 cm^3 of steel to make 172 rods.

Apologies for the mistake in the calculation. Let's correct it.

The correct calculation should be:

Volume of one cylinder = πr^2h
Volume of one rod = (3.14) x (2)^2 x 90 = 3.14 x 4 x 90 = 1130.4 cm^3

Total volume needed for 172 rods = 1130.4 cm^3 x 172 = 194732.8 cm^3

Therefore, the company will need 194732.8 cm^3 of steel to make 172 rods. Thank you for pointing out the error.
