a company makes steel rods shaped like cylinders. each rod has a radius of 2 centimeters and a height of 60 centimeters. how much steel will the company need to make 192 rods? use 3.14 for π, and do not round your answer.

Question

Accepted Answer

# Explanation:
## Step1: Calculate the volume of one cylinder
The formula for the volume of a cylinder is $V=\pi r^{2}h$. Given $r = 2$ cm and $h=60$ cm, and $\pi = 3.14$.
$$
\begin{align*}
V&=3.14\times2^{2}\times60\
&=3.14\times4\times60\
&=3.14\times240\
& = 753.6
\end{align*}
$$
## Step2: Calculate the total volume for 192 rods
Multiply the volume of one rod by the number of rods.
$$
\begin{align*}
\text{Total Volume}&=753.6\times192\
&=753.6\times(200 - 8)\
&=753.6\times200-753.6\times8\
&=150720-6028.8\
&=144691.2
\end{align*}
$$

# Answer:
$144691.2$
