We know that once we have the base and the wall, we have a smaller cylinder.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Our base will be a circle with a diameter that is .15 meters shorter. The number .15 is calculated by converting millimeter to meter.
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore our circular base will have a diameter of 5.4 - .15 = 5.25 meters\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The height will be also shorter due to concrete. The new height is 2.16 - .2
\n" ); document.write( "We go .2 by converting the millimeter to meter
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore shorter height is 2.16 - .2 = 1.96 meters\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now the volume of this smaller cylinder is pi*r^2*height
\n" ); document.write( "We know that the diameter is 5.25. The radius is half of this number which is 2.625
\n" ); document.write( "Volume = pi*2.625^2*1.96 The number of pi is around 3.14 \n" ); document.write( "
