Question

If a cylindrical water tank holds 1,000 ft3 of water and has a height of 10 feet, what is the internal base area of the water tank?

Answer 1

Internal base area of the water tank = 100 ft²

Explanation:

Volume of cylinder = Base area x Height

Volume of cylindrical water tank = 1000 ft³

Height of tank = 10 ft

Base area = Volume of cylindrical water tank/Height of tank = 1000/10 = 100 ft²

Internal base area of the water tank = 100 ft²
