Hal has a steel barrel with a diameter of 6 feet that can be filled to a depth of 4.6 feet with oil. What is the volume of the b

scoray [572]

Answer:

129.996 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the barrel is a perfect cylinder, we can use the formula to find the volume:

$\pi(r)^2(h)$

First, we have to find the radius, which is:

D = 2r

So the radius is 3 feet, since it is half of the diameter. Then, we plug in the values.

$3.14(3)^2(4.6)$

Now, we solve. Exponents are first...

3.14(9)(4.6)

Now multiply left to right.

28.26(4.6)

129.996 cubic feet

Therefore, the barrel can hold 129.996 cubic feet of oil. Hope this helps you!

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

42.9m

Step-by-step explanation:

The topic is on similar triangle

you are comparing triangle MNP with triangle MAB

side AB is similar to NP

side MA is similar to MN

side MB is similar to MP

now MA = MN - AN

= 67.2 - 32

= 35.2m

MA/MN = MB/MP

35.2/67.2 = x/81.9

cross multiply and solve

x = 42.9m
