Question: ASTM C 3 9 / C 3 9 M ( see the note below ) prescribes a standard for conducting compression test on concrete cylinders.

ASTM C 39/C 39M (see the note below) prescribes a standard for conducting compression test on concrete cylinders. On page 4, it gives a correction factor to be multiplied with the measured compression strength. Correction factor is given for selective L/D ratios (length/diameter). Suppose you tested a cylinder with length L=8" and D=5", determine the correction factor by interpolation using a Lagrange polynomial of order 1 and 2. Which estimate do you you think is more accurate?
