Question

A collar of Styrofoam is made to insulate a pipe. Find it's volume. That large R is to the outer rim. The smaller r us to the edge of the insulation. Use pi=3.14

Answer 1

Answer:

the volume of the pipe is 649.98 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a collar of Styrofoam is made to insulate a pipe. We are asked to find the volume of the given pipe.

We will use volume of hollow cylinder formula to solve our given problem.

$\text{Volume of hollow cylinder}=\pi R^2h-\pi r^2h$

where,

R = Radius of external cylinder,

r = Radius of internal cylinder.

h = Height of cylinder.

substituting our given values in above formula, we will get:

$\text{Volume of hollow cylinder}=\pi (5\text{ in})^2(\text{23 in})-\pi (4\text{ in})^2(\text{23 in})\text{Volume of hollow cylinder}=\text{23 in}\cdot 3.14 ((5\text{ in})^2-(4\text{ in})^2)\text{Volume of hollow cylinder}=\text{23 in}\cdot 3.14 (25\text{ in}^2-16\text{ in}^2)\text{Volume of hollow cylinder}=\text{23 in}\cdot 3.14 (9\text{ in}^2)\text{Volume of hollow cylinder}=649.98\text{ in}^3$

Therefore, the volume of the pipe is 649.98 cubic inches.
