Question

the radius of a cylindrical water tank is 4.5 feet and its height is 6 feet what is the volume of the tank. using the value 3.14 for it and round your answer to the nearest whole number be sure to include the correct unit in your answer

Answer 1

The area is 297 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a cylinder is given by the formula:

`A=2\pi rh+2\pi r^2`

Where r and h are the radius and height of the cylinderical material.

Here, h = 6 ft, and r = 4.5 ft, with π = 3.14

`\begin{gathered} A=2(3.14)(4.5)(6)+2(3.14)(4.5)^2 \\ =169.56+127.17 \\ =296.73 \end{gathered}`

This is approximately 297 square feet
