271.3 (choice b) is the correct choice

Abel Humphrey · Answer 2

To solve this problem, we simply use the equation of volume for hollow cylinders:

V = π h (R^2 - r^2)

where V is volume, h is height = 10, R is outer radius = 8.4/2 = 4.2, r is inner radius = 6/2 = 3

V = π (10) (4.2^2 - 3^2)

V = 86.4π = 271.43 mm^3
