Question

the radius of a cylindrical water tank is 4.5 ft, and its height is 60. What is the volume of the tank? Using the volume 3.14 for it and round your answer to the nearest whole number be sure to include the correct unit for the answer

Answer 1

The volume of the cylinder is 3,815 square feet

Here, given the radius and the height of the cylindrical tank, we want to calculate the volume of the tank

Mathematically, that would be;

`V\text{ = }\pi\text{ }* r^2\text{ }*\text{ h}`

From the question, r = 4.5ft and h = 60 ft

Substituting these values in the equation, we have;

`V\text{ = 3.14 }*4.5^2\text{ }*\text{ 60 = 3,815.1 square fe}et`

To the nearest whole number, this is 3,815 square feet
