Solution

I see that you've uploaded an image containing three geometry-related word problems, with some multiple-choice options. Let's go through each of them.

Question 1:

Problem:
A room is 15 feet tall by 88 feet long by 41 feet wide. What is the volume of the room in cubic feet?

Solution:
To find the volume of a rectangular space (like a room), we use the formula for volume: V=length×width×heightV = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height}

Substituting the given values: V=88feet×41feet×15feet=54,120cubic feetV = 88 \, \text{feet} \times 41 \, \text{feet} \times 15 \, \text{feet} = 54,120 \, \text{cubic feet}

So the correct answer is 54,120 cubic feet.

Question 2:

Problem:
A pipe is 1 mile long (1 mile = 5280 feet). What is the volume of the pipe if its diameter is 48 inches? (Use π3.1416\pi \approx 3.1416.)

Solution: This is the volume of a cylinder. The formula for the volume of a cylinder is: V=π×r2×hV = \pi \times r^2 \times h Where:

  • rr is the radius of the pipe,
  • hh is the height (or length in this case) of the cylinder.
  1. The diameter is 48 inches, so the radius is 482=24\frac{48}{2} = 24 inches. Convert the radius to feet:
    24inches=2feet24 \, \text{inches} = 2 \, \text{feet}
  2. The length of the pipe is 1 mile = 5280 feet.

Now, apply the formula: V=3.1416×(2)2×5280=3.1416×4×5280=66,483.84cubic feetV = 3.1416 \times (2)^2 \times 5280 = 3.1416 \times 4 \times 5280 = 66,483.84 \, \text{cubic feet}

So the correct answer is 66,483.84 cubic feet.

Question 3:

Problem:
A pipe that is 25 feet long with a diameter of 48 inches has a volume of how many cubic feet?

Solution:
Again, we are dealing with the volume of a cylinder. The formula remains the same: V=π×r2×hV = \pi \times r^2 \times h

  1. The diameter is 48 inches, so the radius is 24 inches, or 2 feet.
  2. The length of the pipe is 25 feet.

Now, apply the formula: V=3.1416×(2)2×25=3.1416×4×25=314.16cubic feetV = 3.1416 \times (2)^2 \times 25 = 3.1416 \times 4 \times 25 = 314.16 \, \text{cubic feet}

So the correct answer is 314.16 cubic feet.


If you'd like more detailed explanations or have any specific questions, feel free to ask!

Here are 5 additional questions that expand on this:

  1. How do you calculate the surface area of a cylinder instead of its volume?
  2. How can the formula for volume be adapted for irregularly shaped rooms?
  3. What is the volume of a pipe with a diameter of 36 inches and a length of 2 miles?
  4. If the room's dimensions are doubled, how does that affect the volume?
  5. How would you convert the volume of the room into gallons?

Tip: For cylindrical volumes, always ensure that the diameter is converted to the correct units before calculating.
