Perform the following application. use 3.14 for and round to the nearest tenth. a culvert has a circumference of 280 cm. you wish to seal off both of its ends. what is the culvert's radius? cm. how much material will you need? sq. cm.

Culvert is a tunnel, therefore we can use the volume and area formula of a cylinder.

Circumference is given such as 280 cm and the circumference formula of a circle is C = 2*pi*r

Solving for the radius, we have:
280 = 2*3.14*r
r = 280/2*3.14
r = 44.59 cm

Area of one end:
Area = pi*r²
Area = 3.14 * 44.59²
Area= 6,243.2 cm²

The total area is times two of area since there were two ends in the culvert.
Total area = 6243.2 * 2
Total area = 12,486.32 cm²
