A cylindrical pipe has radius .5 meters and length 12 meters. How much water can pipe hold?

Question

I need it in cubic meters. Ex 72(pie) cubic meters

Answer 1

Formula for volume of a cylinder:  V=¶r²h where r = radius, h=height (or length in your example).  

Answer 2

To determine how much water the pipe can hold is the same as finding the volume of the pipe. Since the pipe is cylindrical in nature, then we need to utilize the formula for the volume of a cylinder, which is V = πr²h, where V = volume, r = radius, and h = height. 

 

In this problem, you can use the length of 12 m for the height. Then, just substitute the value of the radius and the length of 12 m into the volume formula for a cylinder. Volume is always expressed in cubic units, and in this case, the units are meters. 

 

You should be able to handle the rest from here, Rohan.
