Aaron is using a special beaker in science that is a cylinder with a radius of 2 cm and a height of 3 cm on top of a cylinder that has a radius of 6 cm and a height of 4 cm. What is the volume of this beaker? Use 3.14 for pi.

A339.12 cm³
B357.96 cm³
C489.84 cm³
D508.68 cm³

Since in the above case, the beaker has two sections each with different radius and height, we will divide this problem into two parts.

We will calculate the volume of both the beakers separately and then add them up together to get the volume of the beaker.

Given, π = 3.14

Beaker 1:

Radius (r₁) = 2 cm
Height (h₁) = 3 cm

Volume (V₁) = π r₁² h₁ = 3.14 x 2² x 3 = 37.68 cm³

Beaker 2:

Radius (r₂) = 6 cm
Height (h₂) = 4 cm
Volume (V₂) = π r₂² h₂ = 3.14 x 6² x 4 = 452.16 cm³

Volume of beaker = V₁ + V₂ = 37.68 + 452.16 = 489.84 cm³


apologiabiology

so we just computate the volumes of 2 cylinders and add them

Vcylinder=hpir^2

top one is r=2 and h=3, so V=3pi2^2 or 3pi4 or 12pi cm^3

bottom one is r=6 and h=2 so V=4pi6^2 or 4pi36 or 144pi cm^3

total
12pi+144pi=156pi=total volume
aprox pi=3.14
total volume=489.84

C is answer
