Question

A piece of plastic pipe is shaped like a cylinder with a length of 15 feet. What is the volume of the pipe to the nearest tenth of a foot?

A. 1767.1 cubic feet
B. 176.7 cubic feet
C. 706.9 cubic feet
D. 471.2 cubic feet

Answer 1

The volume of the plastic pipe is approximately 1767.1 cubic feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder can be calculated using the formula V = πr²h, where π is approximately 3.142, r is the radius, and h is the height of the cylinder.

In this case, the length of the plastic pipe is given as 15 feet. Since the pipe is shaped like a cylinder, we can assume that the radius is half of the diameter.

Therefore, the volume of the pipe is approximately 1767.1 cubic feet, which is option A.
