Two containers designed to hold water are side by side, both in the shape of a cylinder. Container A has a diameter of 18 feet and a height of 19 feet. Container B has a diameter of 20 feet and a height of 17 feet. Container A is full of water and the water is pumped into Container B until Container A is empty.

After the pumping is complete, what is the volume of water in Container B, to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot?

Answer:

4834.91 cubic ft.

Explanation:

The volume of a right-cylinder is


\pi{r}^(2) h

plug in the respective radius (half the diameter) and height for A into our formula above and solve.
