Question

Calculate the volume. A water storage tank has a diameter of 91 feet and a height of 60 feet. What is the volume of water this tank can hold? Round to the nearest tenth. a) 390,035.1 cubic ft b) 398,654.4 cubic ft c) 1,560,140.4 cubic ft d) none

Answer 1

The correct volume of the water tank, calculated using the formula for a cylinder's volume, is 391,722.3 cubic feet. So, the correct answer is (d) none.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the volume of this water storage tank, we would use the formula for the volume of a cylinder: Volume = πr²h where r is the radius of the cylinder and h is its height. Since we are given the diameter of the tank, we must first calculate the radius. The radius (r) is half the diameter, so it is 91/2 = 45.5 feet. Then to find the volume, we substitute these values (r=45.5 feet and h=60 feet) into the volume formula to get: Volume = π(45.5ft)²(60ft) = 391,722.3 cubic feet rounded to the nearest tenth. .
