Answer:
241 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Height of cylinder, h = 15 ft
Radius, r =
(both cylinder and cone have same radius)
Let's find the height of cone, since angle of inclination = 25°C.
Height of cone = 2.8 ft
Let's find colume of tower.
Volume = Volume of cone + volume of cylinder.
Formula for volume of cone = ⅓πr²h
Volume of cylinder = πr²h
Therefore,
V = ⅓πr²h + πr²h
V = ⅓π*6²*2.8 + π*6²*15
V = 105.558 + 1696.46
V = 1802.02 ft³
Since volume is 1802.02 ft³, and there are 7.48 gallons in a cubic ft, the total gallon =
1802.02 * 7.48 = 13479.11 gallons
Water is used at an average rate of 56 gallons per minute.
Amount if time to drain the water:
Total gallons / average rate
≈ 241 minutes
