A hollow cylindrical copper pipe is 21 dm long. Its outer and inner diameters are 10 cm and 6 cm respectively. Find the volume of copper used in making the pipe.

Solution
Length of the pipe (h) = 21 dm = 210 cm Outer diameter = 10 cm.
therefore     Outer radius (R) = 10 over 2 space cm space equals space 5 space cm
because     Inner diameter = 6 cm
therefore     Inner radius (r) = 6 over 2 space cm space equals space 3 space cm

Volume of copper used in making the pipe = volume of the outer cylinder

– volume of the inner cylinder = straight piR2h – straight pir2h
equals 22 over 7 cross times left parenthesis 5 right parenthesis squared cross times 210 minus 22 over 7 cross times left parenthesis 3 right parenthesis squared cross times 210
equals space 22 over 7 cross times 210 cross times left curly bracket left parenthesis 5 right parenthesis squared minus left parenthesis 3 right parenthesis squared right curly bracket
equals space 22 over 7 cross times 210 cross times 16 equals 10560 space cm cubed.
