The radius of the pipe can be found by dividing the diameter by 2:
radius = 6 ft / 2 = 3 ft
The circumference of the pipe can be found using the formula:
circumference = 2 * 3.14 * radius = 2 * 3.14 * 3 ft ≈ 18.84 ft
The volume of the cylinder can be calculated using the formula:
volume = circumference * length = 18.84 ft * 34 ft ≈ 640.56 ft^3
Rounding to the nearest whole number, the volume of the pipe is approximately 641 ft^3.
The diameter of a cylindrical construction pipe is 6 ft. If the pipe is 34 ft. long, what is its volume?
Use the value 3.14 for the circumference , and round your answer to the nearest whole number.
