Question

A cylindrical water tank is of radius 2.4 m and 2.8 m in height. How many litres of

water can be stored in this tank?
(Note: 1000 litres = 1 m^3)

1. 42.240 litres
2.50.688 litres
3.42240 litres
4.50688 litres

Answer 1

Answer: 2. 50,688 litres.

Explanation:

The volume of a cylinder can be calculated using the formula:

V = πr²h

where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height.

Substituting the given values, we get:

V = π(2.4²)(2.8)

V = 50.688 m³

To convert this to litres, we can multiply by 1000:

V = 50.688 × 1000

V = 50,688 litres

Therefore, the answer is option 2: 50,688 litres.
