Answer:
Total volume = (145/3)π in³
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the volume of the entire cylinder. The correct formula to use here is:
V = πr²h, where r is the radius and h is the height. Here, with the radius being 5/2 inches and the height being 8 inches, the cylinder volume is
V = π(2.5 in)²(8 in) = 50π in³
Next find the volume of the conical shape: V = (1/3)π(2.5 in)²(0.8 in)
The desired volume is equal to the volume of the entire cylinder LESS the volume of the cone:
π(2.5 in)²(8 in) = 50π in³ LESS (1/3)π(2.5 in)²(0.8 in), which simplifies as follows:
Total volume =
50 π in³ - (1/3)π(2.5 in)²(0.8 in), or
(2.5 in)²π[8 in - 0.8/3 in] = π(6.25 in²)(8 in - 8/30 in) = π( 6.25 in²)(116/15 in), or
Total volume = (145/3)π in³
