Maria want to make a footstool in the shape of a cylinder, as show below. she wants to fill the footstool with foam and cover it with fabric. r=12in by h=18in

She'll need 8143 cubic inches of foam and 1,809.6  square inches of fabric.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you want to know how much foam and fabric she will need...

First the foam... so we need to determine the volume of that footstool.  The Volume of a cylinder is given by:

V = π * r² * h

So, we plug in the numbers:

V = π * 12² * 18 = π * 144 * 18

V = 2,592 π  = 8143 cubic inches.

Now for the fabric... we'll assume Maria wants to cover the side of the stool and the top, but not the bottom.

The side of the stool is basically a rectangle of width of 18 inches and a length of the circumference of the base of the stool.  The circumference is given by: C = 2 π * r of course, so C = 24π = 75.14 inches.

So the lateral surface of the cylinder is:

LS = 18 * 75.14 = 1,357.2 sq inches.

Then we need to calculate the area of the top... which is easy:

A = π * r²  = π * 12²  = 144 π = 452.4 sq inches

So, to cover the lateral side of the footstool and its top, she needs to use:

TA = 1,357.2 + 452.4 = 1,809.6 sq inches of fabric.

it would take 7/10 of an hour too fill the pool.

step-by-step explanation:

30 feet

step-by-step explanation:

that would be 2 1/2 * 12

= 24 + 6

= 30 feet   (answer)
