Question

A cylindrical water towers has a diameter of 15 meters and a height of 5 meters. About how many gallons of water can the gallon contain?

Answer 1

233445.54 gallons

Explanation:

Given data

Diameter= 15m

Radius= 7.5m

Height= 5m

Let us first find the volume

the volume of a cylinder is given as

V= πr^2h

substitute

V= 3.142*7.5^2*5

V= 3.142*56.25*5

V=883.6875 m^3

Hence the volume in gallons is

233445.54 gallons (from conversion tables)
