Question

The company you're interning at stores liquid in cylinder-shaped tanks, the smallest of which are 10 feet in diameter and 30 feet high. How much liquid can a small tank hold if filled completely full

Answer 1

`2,355\ ft^(3)`

Explanation:

we know that

The volume of cylinder is equal to

`V=\pi r^(2) h`

we have

`r=10/2=5\ ft` ----> the radius is half the diameter

`h=30\ ft`

substitute

`V=\pi (5)^(2)(30)`

`V=750\pi\ ft^(3)` ----> exact value

assume

`\pi =3.14`

`V=750(3.14)=2,355\ ft^(3)`
