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 4.1 miles. Find the radius of the hole to the
nearest hundredth of a foot. (Hint: Make sure the same units of measurement are used.)
The radius of the hole is feet. (Round to the nearest hundredth.)

Respuesta :

The radius of the Cylindrical hole of ocean to be digged for learning about earth's history is 0.22 feet.

Given: Hole is in the shape of Cylinder.

Volume of the Cylinder=[tex]\pi r^{2} h[/tex]

[tex]\pi[/tex]=3.14

r=radius of the cylinder

h= height of the cylinder

As given in the question volume =[tex]\pi r^{2} h[/tex]=3500 cubic feet------Eq 1

Height of the Cylinder that is the Hole of the ocean =4.1 miles.

(As mentioned radius of the hole is in feet so converting the unit of height into feet )

1 mile= 5280 feet

4.1 miles=4.1 x 5280=21648 feet

So now the height of cylinder =21648 feet -----Eq 2

From Eq 1 and 2

3500=3.14 x [tex]r^{2}[/tex] x 21648

3500=67974.72 [tex]r^{2}[/tex]

3500/67974.72=[tex]r^{2}[/tex]

0.051=[tex]r^{2}[/tex]

0.22=r

Hence the radius of the hole to be digged in an ocean is of 0.22 feet.
