To find the volume of the solid, we need to calculate the volume of the cylinder and subtract the volume of the rectangular prism-shaped hole.
The volume of the cylinder can be found using the formula V = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.
The volume of the rectangular prism-shaped hole can be found using the formula V = lwh, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.
calculate the volumes:
Volume of the cylinder = π( )^2(15) cubic feet
Volume of the rectangular prism-shaped hole = (3)(5)(15) cubic feet
Now, subtract the volume of the hole from the volume of the cylinder to find the volume of the solid.
