Algebra.Com's Answer #483830 by DrBeeee(684)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let r = inside radius of the pipe, cm \n" ); document.write( "Let h = height (length) of the pipe, cm \n" ); document.write( "Let B = inside area of the end of the pipe, cm^2 \n" ); document.write( "Let V = the volume of the pipe, cm^3 \n" ); document.write( "Use the formula \n" ); document.write( "(1) V = B*h or \n" ); document.write( "(2) \n" ); document.write( "The inside diameter is the outside diameter of 12cm minus twice the thickness, 0.5cm, of the pipe. The inside radius is one half of the inside diameter or \n" ); document.write( "(3) r = (12-2*0.5)/2 or \n" ); document.write( "(4) r = (12-1)/2 or \n" ); document.write( "(5) r = 11/2 or \n" ); document.write( "(6) r = 5.5 \n" ); document.write( "The area of the pipe's cross-section is \n" ); document.write( "(7) \n" ); document.write( "(8) \n" ); document.write( "(9) \n" ); document.write( "The height, h, of the pipe is the same as the length or 2.4m, which converts to 240cm (all length units must be the same). Substituting B and h into (1) yields \n" ); document.write( "(10) \n" ); document.write( "(11) \n" ); document.write( "(12) \n" ); document.write( "(13) \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
