Sophia is more correct in her solution.
Wide is 5 x 5 = 25 feet;
P = 2 x width + 2 x wide = 10 + 50 = 60 feet;
If 3 =

, then we know 9 =

because 9 is 3 squared.

can be simplified to

So now we know

=

·

Since

and

have the same base, we can express it as a single term by adding the exponents together.
So the answer is C)
1/8 inch thick
inner diameter of 8.5
volume shell=volume total-volume shell
1/8=0.125
diameter/2=radius
radius inner=8.5/2=4.25
radiustotal=inner+outer=4.25+0.125=4.375
so
Vouter-Vinner=(4/3)pi4.375³-(4/3)pi4.25³
Vshell=(4/3)(pi)(4.375³-4.25)
Vshell=(4/3)(pi)(83.740234375-76.765625)
Vshell=(4/3)(pi)(6.974609375)
Vshell=9.299479166666666666666pi cubic inches
Vshell≈16.433536180619 cubic inches
