Question

REAL LIFE A cylindrical hazardous waste container has a diameter of 1.5 feet and a height of 1.6 feet. Abo

Answer 1

Answer:

It can hold up to $1.256ft^3$ of waste

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$D = 1.5ft$ -- Diameter

$h = 1.6ft$ -- height

Required

Determine the amount of waste it can hold

This simply means that we calculate the volume of the cylindrical container.

And this is calculated using:

$Volume = \pi r^2h$

Where

$\pi = 3.14$

and

$r = \frac{D}{2}$

$r = \frac{1.5}{2}$

$r = 0.75$

So, we have:

$Volume = 3.14 * 0.5^2 * 1.6$

$Volume = 1.256ft^3$

Hence, it can hold up to $1.256ft^3$ of waste
