Hello studywoo

The volume of the tree trunk (cylinder) after the pest ate 40 % of it is

pi * r squared * the height

This gives us 118.5 feet

I will use the cross multiplication to solve

118.5/ X * 60/100

Your formula:

11850= 60x

Divide 11850 by 60

= 197.5

NOTE: This is not ur final answer

This is the volume the pest ate

add it to the previous and your final answer is

D) 235.5
