Question

What is the volume of the tank in #1 in ft) if the diameter is measured carefully to be 15.00 ft and the height 62.00 ft?

Answer 1

The volume of this tank is
`V = 10956.30 ft^(3)`, using
`\pi = 3.14`

Explanation:

A tank has the format of a cylinder.

The volume of the cylinder is given by:

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

In which r is the radius and h is the heigth.

The problem states that the diameter is measured carefully to be 15.00 ft. The radius is half the diameter. So, for this tank

`r = (15)/(2) = 7.50` ft

The height of the tank is 62 ft, so
`h = 62`.

The volume of this tank is:

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

`V = pi*(7.5)^2*62`

`V = 10956.30 ft^(3)`

The volume of this tank is
`V = 10956.30 ft^(3)`, using
`\pi = 3.14`
