Question

A cylindrical fuel storage tank has a length of 26.5 feet and a diameter of 8 feet. What is the volume, in cubic feet, of the tank? Use 3.14 for π.

Answer 1

The answer to your question is 1331.4 ft²

Explanation:

Data

length = 26.5 ft

diameter = 8 ft

volume = ?

π = 3.14

Process

1.- Write the formula to calculate the volume of a Cylinder

Volume = πr²h

2.- Calculate the radius

radius = diameter / 2

-Substitution

radius = 8/2

-result

radius = 4 ft

3.- Calculate the volume

Volume = (3.14)(4)²(26.5)

-Simplification

Volume = (3.14)(16)(26.5)

-Result

Volume = 1331.4 ft²
