Answer:
Part 1) Option B. 175π in3
Part 2) Option A . the average age of the trees in the forest
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1) we know that
The volume of the prism is equal to
[tex]V=Bh[/tex]
where
B is the area of the base of the prism
h is the height of the prism
In this problem
A rectangular prism has the same cross-sectional area and height as the can
so
[tex]h=7\ in[/tex]
[tex]B=\pi (5^2)=25\pi\ in^2[/tex]
substitute
[tex]V=(25\pi)(7)=175\pi\ in^3[/tex]
Part 2)
I think the least useful option to determine the volume of wood the lumber can expect would be option A
