Answer: The height of the tank is 9.02 feet

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

Volume of a cylinder = π radius² x height

Replacing with values given:

7252 = 3.14 ( 16 )² h

Solving for h (height)

7252 / 3.14(16)² =h

7252 /3.14 (256) =h

7252 / 803.84 = h

9.02 =h

The height of the tank is 9.02 feet

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
