Question

What is the total volume of water that can be collected and centimeters for a cylindrical storage tank with a diameter of 50 cm and 80 cm height

Answer 1

Total volume of water that can be collected in the tank =
`15,700\ cm^3`

Explanation:

Given dimensions of the cylindrical storage tank :

Diameter= 50 cm

Height = 80 cm

To find the total volume of water that can be collected in the tank.

Solution:

In order to find the total volume of water that can be collected in the tank, we will need to find the volume of the tank as that would be equal to the volume of water filled in the tank.

Volume of a cylinder =
`\pi\ r^2h`

where
`r` represent radius of the cylinder and
`h` represent height of the cylinder.

The radius of the tank would be =
`(Diameter)/(2)=(50\ cm)/(2)=25\ cm`

Height = 80 cm

Volume of the cylindrical tank =
`\pi\ (25)^2(80)`

⇒
`3.14* 25^2* 80` (taking the value of π=3.14)

⇒
`3.14* 625* 80`

⇒
`15700\ cm^3`

∴ Total volume of water that can be collected in the tank =
`15,700\ cm^3`
