An engineer is designing a new drill bit as shown in the diagram. To finalize the design, the engineer needs to know the volume of the drill bit. What is the volume of the drill bit? A) 1,458π mm³ B) 2,106π mm³ C) 2,592π mm³ D) 1,620π mm³

Solution

To calculate the volume of the drill bit, we need to find the volumes of the cone and the cylinder separately and add them together.


Step 1: Volume of the cylinder

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is:

Vcylinder=πr2hV_{\text{cylinder}} = \pi r^2 h

From the diagram:

  • Radius r=9mmr = 9 \, \text{mm},
  • Height h=18mmh = 18 \, \text{mm}.

Substitute into the formula:

Vcylinder=π(9)2(18)=π(81)(18)=1458πmm3V_{\text{cylinder}} = \pi (9)^2 (18) = \pi (81)(18) = 1458\pi \, \text{mm}^3


Step 2: Volume of the cone

The formula for the volume of a cone is:

Vcone=13πr2hV_{\text{cone}} = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h

From the diagram:

  • Radius r=9mmr = 9 \, \text{mm},
  • Height h=24mmh = 24 \, \text{mm}.

Substitute into the formula:

Vcone=13π(9)2(24)=13π(81)(24)=13π(1944)=648πmm3V_{\text{cone}} = \frac{1}{3} \pi (9)^2 (24) = \frac{1}{3} \pi (81)(24) = \frac{1}{3} \pi (1944) = 648\pi \, \text{mm}^3


Step 3: Total volume of the drill bit

Add the two volumes together:

Vtotal=Vcylinder+Vcone=1458π+648π=2106πmm3V_{\text{total}} = V_{\text{cylinder}} + V_{\text{cone}} = 1458\pi + 648\pi = 2106\pi \, \text{mm}^3


Final Answer:

B. 2106πmm32106\pi \, \text{mm}^3
