Google Earth Math Problems: Using Volume

1. What is the Volume of the Leaning Tower of Pisa? What is the

surface area of the leaning tower?

V=πr²h
Surface Area of a Cylinder = 2 pi r 2
V=3.14x7.75x7.75x56 + 2 pi r h
SAC = 2x3.14x(7.75)² +
V=10561.39m³ 2x3.14x7.75x56
377.1925 + 2725.52= 3102.71m²

2. The Tower Building in Sydney is a cylindrical building.

Find the volume of a cylinder given the following dimensions:
Height: 170 meters
Diameter: 42 meters
V= πr²h
V=3.14x21x21x170= 235,405.8m³

3. Volume of a Pyramid
The Transamerica Pyramid in San Francisco resembles a tall pyramid
with a square base.
Find the volume of the building given the following dimensions:
Height: 641 feet
Base length: 175 feet

The volume of a pyramid with a rectangular base is equal to:

Length_of_base * Width_of_base * Height * 1/3
V=lwh*⅓
V=175x175x641x⅓
V=6543541.6666666666666666666666667 ft.³

4. Volume of a sphere
What is the volume of a globe with an 8 inch radius?
V=4/3πr³
V= 1.333*3.14*8*8*8
V= 2143.037in³
