Question

A cube-shaped tank that measures 4.64.6 meters on each side is full of water. If some water is drained to fill a cone with a height of 66 meters and a radius of 2.52.5 meters, approximately how much water is left in the tank? Use 3.143.14 for ππ and round your answer to the nearest tenth. The amount of water left in the tank is approximately __________ cubic meters.

Answer 1

The amount of water left in the tank is approximately 58.1 cubic meters

Explanation:

step 1

Find the volume of the a cube shape tank

The volume is equal to

`V=b^(3)`

we have

`b=4.6\ m`

substitute

`V=4.6^(3)=97.336\ m^(3)`

step 2

Find the volume of cone

The volume is equal to

`V=(1)/(3)\pi r^(2)h`

we have

`r=2.5\ m`

`h=6\ m`

`\pi =3.14`

substitute

`V=(1)/(3)(3.14)(2.5)^(2)(6)`

`V=39.25\ m^(3)`

step 3

Find the difference of the volumes

`97.336\ m^(3)-39.25\ m^(3)=58.1\ m^(3)`
