Use the appropriate formula to find the volume of each column. Use 3.14 as an estimation for pi and round your answer to the nearest cubic foot.

The eight Corinthian columns at the National Building Museum in Washington, DC, are each 75 feet high and 8 feet in diameter. What is the volume of each column?

The volume of each of the Corinthian columns is approximately____ ft3.

The volume of each of the Corinthian columns is approximately 3,768 ft³.

The area of a circle is found with the formula. πr². r is the Radius, but you have the diameter. Divide the diameter by two and the radius is found to be 4. Now, 4² is 4 times 4, or 16. now your formula is simplified to π times 16. 3.14 is pi, 3.14 times 16 is 50.24. The area of the base is 50.24 ft². The height is 75. The volume need you to multiply the area of the base by the height of the column. That's 75 times 50.24. The answer is 3,768 feet².
