A lab technician made a 14 cm diameter hole through the middle of a cylinder that has a diameter of 20 cm and a height of 18 cm. What is the approximate volume of the finished cylinder, to the nearest tenth of a centimeter?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]2,882.5\ cm^3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The approximate volume of the finished cylinder, is equal to subtract the volume of the hole from the volume of the original cylinder

so

[tex]V=\pi r_1^{2}h-\pi r_2^{2}h[/tex]

[tex]V=\pi h[r_1^{2}-r_2^{2}][/tex]

where

r_1 is the radius of the original cylinder

r_2 is the radius of the hole

we have

[tex]r_1=20/2=10\ cm[/tex] ---> the radius is half the diameter

[tex]r_2=14/2=7\ cm[/tex] ---> the radius is half the diameter

[tex]h=18\ cm[/tex]

[tex]\pi=3.14[/tex]

substitute the given values in the formula

[tex]V=(3.14)(18)[10^{2}-7^{2}][/tex]

[tex]V=56.52[51]\\V=2,882.5\ cm^3[/tex]
