Answer:

30548.57 cubic inches of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Lydia purchased 10 cylinders of water for her pet Fido.

Each cylinder 12 inches tall and had a diameter of 18 inches.

Question asked:

How many cubic inches of water did Lydia purchase for Fido ?

Solution:

To find cubic inches of water Lydia purchased, first of all we will have to find the volume of each cylinder and then multiply by 10:-

Diameter of cylinder = 18 inches

Radius, r = [tex]\frac{diameter}{2} =\frac{18}{2} =9\ inches[/tex]

Height of each cylinder, h = 12 inches

As we know:

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

                                [tex]=\frac{22}{7} \times9\times9\times12\\ \\ =\frac{21384}{7} =3054.857\ cubic\ inches[/tex]

Volume of 10 cylinders = 3054.857 [tex]\times[/tex] 10 = 30548.57 cubic inches.

Thus, Lydia purchased 30548.57 cubic inches of water for Fido.
