What is a Sonotube?

A Sonotube is a brand name for a type of cardboard tube that is commonly used in construction projects. These tubes are typically filled with concrete to create cylindrical columns that can be used as the foundation for structures like decks, lamp posts, and buildings. They are designed to be strong and durable, yet easy to remove once the concrete has hardened. Sonotubes come in a variety of sizes to accommodate different project needs.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Step 1: Calculate the Volume (V):

\[ V = \pi r^2 h = 3.14159 \times 2^2 \times 5 = 3.14159 \times 4 \times 5 = 62.8318 \text{ cubic units} \]

The volume of the Sonotube is 62.8318 cubic units.
