Question

A company rents water tanks shaped like cylinders. Each tank has a radius of 6 feet and a height of 2 feet. The cost is $30 per cubic foot. How much does it cost to rent one water tank

Answer 1

Explanation:

Volume of tank = (pi)×(radius squared)×(height)

= 3.14×(6×6)×2

= 3.14×36×2

= 226.08 cu.ft

Each cu.ft is rented for $30

So, for 226.08 cu.ft is,

=226.08×$30

=$6782.3

Answer 2

Plug the numbers into the formula of pi x the radius^2 times the height. This will give you pi x 36 x 2 or 72 pi. Multiply 72 by 3.14 and then multiply it by 30. This gives a cost of $6,782.40 to rent one water tank
