. Round to the nearest tenth if needed.

How much gas can fit in the tank?

Answer 1

Hi, I'm Za'Riah! I will gladly assist you with your problem. (see explanation)

Explanation:

Volume of Cylinders:

Cylinder volume: Considering that;

14 feet is the cylindrical tank's diameter.

The cylindrical tank is 40 feet long.

Find:

how much gas is in the tank.

Computation:

14 feet is the cylindrical tank's diameter.

Tank's cylinder's radius is 14/2, or 7 feet.

Volume of the tank: x amount of gas inside it

Volume of gas in the tank equals πr²h.

Portion of gas in the tank = (3.14)(7)²(40)

Fuel level in tank equals (3.14)(49) (40)

6154.4 feet³ of gas have been filled into the tank.

(Hope this helped!)
