Math Problem Statement
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:
From the diagram:
- Radius ,
- Height .
Substitute into the formula:
Step 2: Volume of the cone
The formula for the volume of a cone is:
From the diagram:
- Radius ,
- Height .
Substitute into the formula:
Step 3: Total volume of the drill bit
Add the two volumes together:
Final Answer:
B.
