Respuesta :

Answer:

Volume of the portion = 1.6 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, wooden dowel is in the shape of a cylinder,

Formula to be used to find the volume of the part Anna has cut from the dowel will be,

Volume = πr²h

Where r = radius of the cylinder or part of the wooden dowel

h = length of the portion

By substituting the values in the formula,

Volume = π(0.5)²(2)

             = 0.5π

             = 1.57 in³ ≈ 1.6 cubic inch

Therefore, volume of the portion will be 1.6 in³.
