A cylinder has a smaller cylinder cut out of its core as shown by the figure below.

 

1

Find the volume of the figure.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

13

In order to find the volume of the figure, we will first need to find the volume of both cylinders.

Recall how to find the volume of the cylinder:

Now, use the given radius and height to find the volume of the larger cylinder.

Next, use the given radius and height to find the volume of the smaller cylinder.

Subtract the volume of the smaller cylinder from the volume of the larger one to find the volume of the figure.

Make sure to round to  places after the decimal.
