A cylindrical piece of iron pipe is shown below. The wall of the pipe is 1.25 inches thick: The figure shows a cylinder of height 14 inches and diameter 8 inches What is the approximate inside volume of the pipe? 332 cubic inches
69 cubic inches
703 cubic inches
99 cubic inches

332 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

You can eliminate 69 and 99 as those answers don't make any sense. This leaves you with 703 and 332.

It says the wall of the pipe is 1.25 inches thick so you multiply that by 2 and subtract it by the diameter to get the insider diameter of 5.5

Now you just use the equation V = (3.14)(r^2)(14) where the radius is half of 5.5.

So to finalize the equation you get V = (3.14)(5.5)^2(14) which comes out to 332 cubic inches

The best choice is 332 cubic inches.

69 cubic inches and 99 cubic inches are less and 703 cubic inches is a large approximation.

Diameter = d= 8 inches

Height= Length = l= 14 inches

Thickness= 1.25 inches

Outer Radius= R= diameter/2= 8/2=4 inches

Inner radius = r= Radius - thickness

                            = 4- 1.25= 2.75 inches

Volume of the cylinder = Area × length

                                      = π r²× l

                                       = 22/7 × (2.75)² × 14

                                          = 332. 616 inches cube

So the best answer is 332 cubic inches

a. is correct
