Introduction / Context:
For a hollow cylinder, volume of material equals π (R^2 − r^2) L. The girth gives the outer radius. Subtracting thickness yields the inner radius. Substitute and compute with π = 22/7.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- Length L = 63 cm
- Outer circumference C = 440 cm ⇒ R = C / (2π)
- Thickness t = 4 cm ⇒ inner radius r = R − 4
- π = 22/7
Concept / Approach:
- Compute R, r, then V = π (R^2 − r^2) L = π (R − r)(R + r)L.
Step-by-Step Solution:
R = 440 / (2 * 22/7) = 440 * 7 / 44 = 70 cm; r = 70 − 4 = 66 cm.R^2 − r^2 = (70 − 66)(70 + 66) = 4 * 136 = 544.V = (22/7) * 544 * 63 = 22 * 544 * 9 = 107,712 cm3.
Verification / Alternative check:
Unit check: cm * cm2 = cm3; arithmetic matches stepwise factors.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
- 54982 / 57636 cm3: Arithmetic slips.
- 56372 cubic m: Wrong unit (m vs cm).
Common Pitfalls:
- Using diameter instead of radius after circumference.
- Forgetting to subtract thickness from the radius (not diameter).
Final Answer:
107712 cubic cm
