Explanation Formula used: “Let A be the area of the area of the base and h be the height then the volume of the prism is given by: V = A h Let a be the side length of the square, then the area of the square is given by the formula: A = a 2 Let d be the diameter of the base of the cylinder and h be the altitude of the cylinder then the volume of the cylinder is given by the formula: V = 1 4 π d 2 h ” Given: The side length of the square shaped block as a = 12 in . , length of the steel block as 20 ft and the diameter of the steel cable as 3 in . . Calculation: It is known that, 1 ft = 12 in . . Convert the given length of the steel block in feet to inches as shown below: 1 ft = 12 in . ( Multiply both sides by 20 ) 20 ft = 20 × 12 in . 20 ft ≈ 240 in . Therefore, the length is h = 240 in . . Substitute the side length of the square a = 12 in . in the formula A = a 2 and calculate the area of the square shaped steel block as follows: A = a 2 = 12 2 = 144 sq in . Therefore, the area of the square shaped steel block is 144 sq in . . Substitute the values h = 240 in . and A = 144 sq in . in the formula V = A h and calculate the volume of the steel block as follows: V = A h = 144 × 240 = 34 , 560 cu in . Therefore, the volume of the steel block is 34 , 560 cu in . . It is given that there is 5% waste factor. That is, 95% of the steel can be transformed into cable. Obtain the volume of the steel as shown below: 0.95 × 34 , 560 cu in
