Answer:
Explanation:
The shape of a straw may be modeled by a cylinder; thus, use the formula for the volume of a cylinder with length (or height) 25cm and diameter 12mm.
Formula for the volume of a cylinder:
[tex]V=\pi \times (radius)^2\times height[/tex]
For the given straw:
- radius = diameter/2 = 12mm /2 = 6mm
- Convert to cm: 6mm × 1cm/10mm = 0.6cm
Substitute and compute:
[tex]V=\pi \times (0.6cm)^2\times 25cm\approx28.27cm^2\approx28cm^3[/tex]
