The radius of the cylindrical construction pipe can be found by dividing the diameter by 2: 6 ft / 2 = 3 ft.
The circumference of the pipe can be found by multiplying the radius by 2π (which can be approximated to 2 * 3.14 = 6.28): 3 ft * 6.28 = 18.84 ft.
The volume of a cylinder can be found by multiplying the area of the base (which is a circle) by the height. The area of the base can be found by multiplying π (approximated to 3.14) by the square of the radius: 3.14 * (3 ft)^2 = 28.26 ft^2.
Therefore, the volume of the pipe is 28.26 ft^2 * 34 ft = 959.84 ft^3.
Rounding to the nearest whole number, the volume of the pipe is 960 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
round your answer to the nearest whole number.
