Answer: 31.792.5 cu. ft. (choice B)

=================================================

Work Shown:


V = \pi*r^2*h\\\\V \approx 3.14*15^2*45\\\\V \approx 31,792.5 \text{ cubic feet}\\\\

The result is approximate since
\pi \approx 3.14 is approximate.

\huge\underline{\red{A}\green{n}\blue{s}\purple{w}\pink{e}\orange{r} →}

B. 31.792.5 cu. ft.

Explanation:

Given,

Radius (r) = 15 feet

Height (h) = 45 feet

Volume = ?

therefore,

Volume of a cylinder = π × r² × h

Taking π ≈ 3.14..

V = 3.14 × 15² × 45

V = 31,792.5 cu. feet

So, the cylindrical tank can hold upto 31,792.5 cu. feet of water..
