Distribute
remember
a(b+c)=ab+ac
2(2.5q+8)=2(2.5q)+2(8)=5q+16
1-5q+5q+16
1+0+16
17
6x-18
you pretty much h just multiply both the first part of the parentheses by the number outside, then the second :)
So the amount needed=area of circle times height
area formula=pi times radius^2
height=3/4
so
pi=aprox 3.14
radius=7
3.14 times 7^2
3.14 times 49
153.86
times 3/4
115.395 in^3
answer is 115.4 cubic inches
6.93 should be your correct answer
