To best estimate the volume of the log, we assume that the diameter is the average of the diameters at both ends giving us 12 inches as the diameter. Thus, the radius is equal to 0.5 ft. The volume of the log is calculated through the equation, V = πr²h = π(0.5 ft)²(10 ft) = 7.85 ft³
To solve this, you would divide 478 by 18, which equals 26.5555556. Since you can't have half a package of paper, the answer would be 26. Hope this helps!
