Answer:

14.13m³

Step-by-step explanation: to get the capacity of the water tank, you have to calculate its volume usong the formula for volume of a cylinder

Volume of the cylinder = πr²h

where r is the radius which is half of the diameter = 3/2 = 1.5m

h is the height which is 2m

π = 3.14

volume = 3.14 x 1.5² x 2

volume = 14.13m³

therefore the capacity is 14.13m³ in cubic meters
