Concrete Columns
You’re going to pour five columns,
each with a diameter of 3 feet 4-1/2
inches and a height of 11 feet 6 inches.
How many cubic yards of concrete are
needed for all five columns? If the con-
crete weighs 1.75 tons per cubic yard,
what is the total weight in tons? In
pounds? In kilograms?
