Question

Given an 8 foot length of tree trunk with a radius of 3 feet, what is the volume of the tree trunk section? (to the nearest whole ft3) A) 75 ft3 B) 151 ft3 C) 226 ft3 D) 452 ft3

Answer 1

Answer : The correct option is, (C) $226ft^3$

Step-by-step explanation :

As we know that tree trunk is in cylindrical shape. So, we are applying volume of cylinder to calculate the volume of tree trunk.

Formula used :

$V=\pi r^2h$

where,

V = volume of tree trunk

r = radius of tree trunk = 3 feet]

h = height or length of tree trunk = 8 foot

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$V=\pi r^2h$

$V=3.14\times (3)^2\times 8$

$V=226ft^3$

Therefore, the volume of tree trunk is, $226ft^3$

Answer 2

The answer would be c)226. hope this helps!
