Question

The number of cubic feet of water in a curved container can be approximated by v = 0.95h2.9. use a calculator to find the amount of water in the container when h = 7.5 feet. round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

V=0.95h^2.9
h=7.5 feet→V=0.95(7.5)^2.9
V=0.95(344.8876664)
V=327.6432830
Rounded to the nearest tenth:
V=327.6 cubic feet

Answer 2

The number of cubic feet of water in a curved container can be approximated by v =
`0.95*h^(2.9)`

To find the amount of water in the container when h = 7.5 feet

WE plug in 7.5 for h and find out v

v =
`0.95*h^(2.9)`

v =
`0.95*(7.5)^(2.9)`

v = 327.643

Now round the answer to nearest tenth

the amount of water in the container = 327. 6 cubic feet.
