I think it would be B. hope this helps!

At first, I knew the answer would be 1 1/8.
But that is not an option. Therefore the answer is D.
For it cannot be A for that doesn't really make any sense. It cannot be B for it says the cable is 8 yards long and he wants to cut it into 9 equal pieces. So that would mean that that 8 would be the denominator not the numerator. So B is out. C is confusing, for we were not subtracting and if we were it would be -1/8 not 1/8. So what is left is D.

Need to find volume, step by step explanation pls <br><br><br><br>

Given:

A figure of combination of hemisphere, cylinder and cone.

Radius of hemisphere, cylinder and cone = 6 units.

Height of cylinder = 12 units

Slant height of cone = 10 units.

To find:

The volume of the given figure.

Solution:

Volume of hemisphere is:

$V_1=\dfrac{2}{3}\pi r^3$

Where, r is the radius of the hemisphere.

$V_1=\dfrac{2}{3}(3.14)(6)^3$

$V_1=\dfrac{6.28}{3}(216)$

$V_1=452.16$

Volume of cylinder is:

$V_2=\pi r^2h$

Where, r is the radius of the cylinder and h is the height of the cylinder.

$V_2=(3.14)(6)^2(12)$

$V_2=(3.14)(36)(12)$

$V_2=1356.48$

We know that,

$l^2=r^2+h^2$ [Pythagoras theorem]

Where, l is length, r is the radius and h is the height of the cone.

$(10)^2=(6)^2+h^2$

$100-36=h^2$

$\sqrt{64}=h$

$8=h$

Volume of cone is:

$V_3=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$

Where, r is the radius of the cone and h is the height of the cone.

$V_3=\dfrac{1}{3}(3.14)(6)^2(8)$

$V_3=\dfrac{25.12}{3}(36)$

$V_3=301.44$

Now, the volume of the combined figure is:

$V=V_1+V_2+V_3$

$V=452.16+1356.48+301.44$

$V=2110.08$

Therefore, the volume of the given figure is 2110.08 cubic units.
