Answer:

the amount of water that the dunk tank can hold is 141.3 feet³

Explanation:

Given: The tank is in the shape of a cylinder that is 5 feet high and has a radius of 3 feet.

We have to find the amount of water that the dunk tank can hold.

Since, we have to find the amount of water that is the volume of the tank.

Also, the tank is in shape of cylinder, so we will find the volume of cylinder.

Volume of cylinder =
\pi r^2h

we are given, radius is 3 feet and height is 5 feet.

Substitute, we get,

Volume of cylinder =
\pi (3)^2(5)

On solving , we get,

Volume of cylinder =
45 \pi

Use
\pi=3.14 , we have,

Volume of cylinder = 141.3 feet³

Thus, the amount of water that the dunk tank can hold is 141.3 feet³
