Question

An oil storage tank is a cylinder 30 feet high. The base of the tank is a circle with a diameter of 50 feet. When full, how many gallons are in the tank? 1 gallon equals approximately 0.13 cubic feet. how many gallons are in the tank?

Answer 1

Volume=
`( \pi d^(2) h)/(4)`=
`( \pi *2500*30)/(4) = 58904.86` cubic feet = 58904.86/0.13 gallons= 453114.32 gallons
