Question

A cylindrical tube 13.5 cm high and 4.5 cm in diameter is used to collect blood samples. How many cubic decimeters (dm3) of blood can it hold (V of a cylinder = 72h)? 495.0E-9 Your response differs significantly from the correct answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

The cylindrical tube can hold 0.215 cubic decimeters of blood.

Explanation:

Diameter of the cylindrical tube = d = 4.5 cm

r = d/2 ,r = 2.25 cm

Height of the cylindrical tube = h = 13.5 cm

Volume of the cylinder = V = $\pi r^2h$

$V=3.14\times (2.25 cm)^2\times 13.5 cm$

$V=214.6 cm^3=0.2146 dm^3\approx 0.215 dm^3$

$1 cm^3=0.001 dm^3$

The cylindrical tube can hold 0.215 cubic decimeters of blood.
