Steven bought a cylindrical water tank for his cattle, but he forgot to ask the seller what the diameter of the tank was. He needs to know the diameter of the tank so that he can build a platform for the tank to safely sit on. The seller told him the Volume and the height. Help Steven by calculating the diameter of the tank using the information below.
The volume of the tank is 572π 3 and its height is 9ft

Answer:

Explanation:

h and r are the height and radius of the tank, respectively.

volume = πr²h

πr²·9 = 572π

r = √(572π/(9π)) = √(572/9)

diameter = 2r ≅ 15.9 ft
