Scientists are drilling a hole in the ocean floor to learn more about the​ Earth's history. ​ Currently, the hole is in the shape of a cylinder whose volume is approximately 3500 cubic feet and whose height is 2.9 miles. Find the radius of the hole to the nearest hundredth of a foot. ​ (Hint: Make sure the same units of measurement are​ used.)

Respuesta :

The radius of the hole is 0.07 feet.

What is the radius?

A cylinder is a three-dimensional object that is made up of a prism and a circular base.

Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

Radius = √volume / (π x h)

Where:

  • Ï€ = pi = 22/7
  • r = radius
  • h = height

The volume of the hole and the height of the hole are in different dimensions. Thus, the height of the hole has to be converted to feet.

1 mile = 5280 feet

5280 x 2.9 = 15,312 feet

3500 / (22/7 x 15,312) = 0.07 feet
