Trinity collects rainwater in a cylinder rain barrel. The area of the base of the

cylinder is 2x2 – 7x + 3 square feet and the height of the cylinder is x + 5 feet. The

volume of the rain barrel can be found using the equation shown below. Which of the

following represents the volume of the cylinder?

V = (2x2 – 7x + 3 )(x + 5)


A. 2x3 + 17x2 + 38x + 15 ft3 C. 2x3 + 3x2 – 32x + 15 ft3

B. 2x3 – 7x2 + 15 ft3 D. 2x3 + 4x2 – 25x + 8 ft3
