Answer:
7 reservoirs
Explanation:
1 yards = 3 feet => 3.5 yards = 10.5 feet
To determine how many numbers of reservoirs to reserve 90000, we first need to determine the capacity of each reservoirs (how much liquid one reservoir can contain) - which is equal to the volume.
The formula to calculate the volume of a circular cylinder is:
- Volume of cylinder = Area of base x Height
The base of this cylinder is a circle with radius equal to 4 feet. (
)
=> The are of the base is =
= 3.14 x 4^2 = 50.24 feet square
=> The volume of cylinder = Area of base x Height
=> The volume of one cylinder = 50.24 x 10.5 = 527.52 Cubic foot
We have: 1 cubic foot = 28.317 liters
=> 1 liter = 1/28.317 cubic foot
=> 90000 liters equal to: 90000/28.317 = 3,178.303 cubic foot
The number of reservoirs needed to contain 90000 liters of liquid is:
3,178.303/527.52 = 6.025
=> So that it needs 7 reservoirs to store all 90000 liters of liquid.
