Question

A cylindrical tank is half full of oil.

The cylinder has a base radius of 100cm.
The height of the cylinder is 250cm.
1litre=1000cm3
How many litres of oil are in the tank?
Round your answers to the nearest litre.

Answer 1

A cylindrical tank is half-full of oil. The cylinder has a base radius of 100 cm. The height of the cylinder is 250 cm than the oil present in the tank is 3926.990 lit.

Given :

The cylinder has a base radius of 100 cm.

• The height of the cylinder is 250 cm

The volume of the half cylinder is given by:

`Volume= (1)/(2) (\pi r^(2) ) X h\\\\Volume=(1)/(2) X(\pi X(100)^(2) ) X 250`

`Volume = Volume = 3926990.82 cm^(3)`

`Volume = 3926.990 lit.`

So, 3926.990 lit. of oil are present in the cylindrical tank.
