Question

A water tower tank in the shape of a right circular cylinder is44 meters tall and has a diameter of26 meters. What is the volume of the tank? UseT = 3.14 and round to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.

Answer 1

We have that the volume of a cylinder is given by the following equation:

`V=\pi\cdot r^2\cdot h`

h is tall and r the radius, the radius is:

`\begin{gathered} r=(d)/(2)=(26)/(2)=13 \\ \end{gathered}`

replacing:

`\begin{gathered} V=3.14\cdot(13)^2\cdot44 \\ V=23349.04 \end{gathered}`

The volumen of the cylinder is 23349.04 cubic meters
