Concept explainers
The volume of a three-dimensional geometric is a measure of the space occupied by the figure. For example, the volume of a gasoline tank determines how many gallons of gasoline it would take to completely fill the tank. Volume is measured in cubic units.
In Exercises 27-32, a formula for the volume (V) of a three-dimensional object is given, along with values for the other variables. Evaluate V. (Use 3.14 as an approximation for

- Determine the cross-sectional area of a regular octagon cross-section tool steel piece shown. The piece weighs 3.72 pounds. The tool steel weighs 0.284 pound per cubic inch.arrow_forwardA copper casting is in the shape of a prism with an equilateral triangle base. The length of each base side is 17.80 centimeters, and the casting height is 16.23 centimeters. Copper weighs 8.8 grams per cubic centimeter. Determine the weight of the casting in kilograms. One kilogram equals 1000 grams. Round the answer to 2 decimal places.arrow_forwardThe cross section of a dovetail slide is shown.
