Answer:

B. 7,596,288 ft³

Explanation:

volume of cylinder = π * r^2 * h

volume = 3.14 * (240 ft)^2 * 42 ft

volume = 7,596,288 ft³

Answer: B .
7,596,288 ft^3

Explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is given by :_


\text{Volume}=\pi r^2 h, where r is radius and h is height of the cylinder.

Given : A new dolphin tank is being built outside of Houston. The tank will be a cylinder with a depth of 42 feet and a radius of 240 feet.

i.e. r=240 and h = 42

Now, the volume of tank will be :_


\text{Volume}=(3.14) (240)^2 (42)=7,596,288

Hence, the tank will hold
7,596,288 ft^3 water.
