Question

how much water could my well hold if the depth of the well is 30ft and the diameter of the well is 24ft

Answer 1

`4,320\pi\ ft^(3)` or
`13,564.8\ ft^(3)`

Explanation:

we know that

The volume of the cylinder (well) is equal to

`V=\pi r^(2)h`

we have

`h=30\ ft`

`r=24/2=12\ ft`

substitute

`V=\pi (12)^(2)(30)`

`V=4,320\pi\ ft^(3)`

assume

`\pi=3.14`

substitute

`V=4,320(3.14)=13,564.8\ ft^(3)`
