To find this, we need to find the volume of the hole.
Volume = base area x depth
Since the hole is circular, the formula for finding its area is:
Area = pi x radius2
radius = diameter/2
radius = 15/2
radius = 7.5 inches
Area = pi x radius2
Area = 3.14 x 7.52
Area = 3.14 x 56.25
Area = 176.63 square inches
Volume = area x depth
Volume = 176.63 x 42
Volume = 7418.5 cubic inches
Thus, you need 7418.5 cubic inches of concrete to fill the hole.
