Algebra.Com's Answer #245711 by mananth(16946) You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1 ft. = 0.3048 m \n" ); document.write( "4ft = 4*0.3048=1.22m \n" ); document.write( "we assume it is a cylinder of 50000m with diameter 1.22m \n" ); document.write( "radius = 0.61m \n" ); document.write( "volume V = pi*r^2 * h \n" ); document.write( "V= 3.14 *0.61*0.61*50000 \n" ); document.write( "V = 58419.7 cu.m of dirt was removed \n" ); document.write( "this is for 1 tunnel \n" ); document.write( "you calculate for 3 tunnels. \n" ); document.write( " |
