ANSWER

Find out the weight of the PVC pipe with an outside diameter of 0.82 inches and an inside diameter of 0.75 inches .

To proof

Formula

[tex]volume\ of\ the\ cylinder = \pi r^{2}h[/tex]

r = radius , h = height

As given

36 inch piece of PVC pipe with an outside diameter of 0.82 inches and an inside diameter of 0.75 inches.

[tex]outside\ radius = \frac{0.82}{2}[/tex]

                                = 0.41 inches

[tex]inside\ radius = \frac{0.75}{2}[/tex]

                              = 0.375 inches

Volume of the PVC pipe = volume of the outside - volume of the inside

put

[tex]\pi = 3.14[/tex]

[tex]= \ 3.14\times0.41\times0.41\times36 -\ 3.14\times0.375\times 0.375\times36[/tex]

thus solving the above

we get

Volume of the PVC pipe = 3.105 inches³ ( approx)

As given

1 inches = 0.063 pounds

weight of a PVC pipe = 3.105 × 0.063 pounds

                                    = 0.196 pounds (approx)

Hence proved

Answer:   Answer:   7.517 inches
