A cylindrical well is 15 meters deep and has a diameter of 1.6 meters. Approximately how many cubic meters of soil were dug out to make the well? (Use π = 3.14.) 30.14 cubic meters 37.68 cubic meters 120.57 cubic meters 188.40 cubic meters?

Respuesta :

We can dig out the soil from the well equal to volume of well.

Height(h) of well is = 15 meters.

Diameter = 1.6 meters.

So radius(r) = [tex] \frac{1.6}{2} = 0.8 [/tex] meter.

As well in cylindrical shapes.

So volume of well = [tex]\pi r^2h[/tex]
                               = [tex]\pi * (0.8)^2 * 15[/tex]
                                [tex]= 9.6 * \pi[/tex]
 In general [tex]\pi = 3.14[/tex]

So volume of well is = [tex]9.6 * 3.14[/tex]
                                   [tex]= 30.144[/tex] cubic meter.

So we can dig out 30.144 cubic meter soil from well.
