Given:

The diameter of a cylindrical aquaculture tank = 10 ft

Height = 4 ft

To find:

The volume of the tank.

Solution:

We have,

Height = 4 ft

Diameter = 10 ft

Radius is half of the diameter.

Radius = 5 ft

Volume of a cylinder is:

$V=\pi r^2h$

Where, r is the radius and h is the height.

Putting
r=5, h=4 in the above formula, we get

$V=\pi (5)^2(4)$

$V=\pi (25)(4)$

$V=100\pi$

Therefore, the volume of the tank is
$100\pi$ cubic ft. Its approximate value is 314.16 cubic feet.
