A vitamin capsule consists of a cylinder with a hemisphere on each end. The capsule is 12 millimeters long and 4 millimeters thick. What is the volume of the capsule?
Added by Rebekah M.
Step 1
Given that the length of the capsule is 12 mm and the thickness is 4 mm, the length of the cylindrical portion is 12 - 4 = 8 mm. The volume of a cylinder is given by V_cylinder = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height. In this case, the radius is 2 mm Show more…
