Question 214831: The world's longest bridge is 3 separate tunnles built side by side each is a half cylinder that is 50,000 meters long and 4 meters high. How many cubic meters of dirt had to be removed to build the tunnel? Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! volume of a cylinder is
each of these tunnels is one half of a cylinder.
l = 50000 meters
r = 4 meters.
