Question

The height and diameter of a cone-shaped storage tank are 9 feet (height) and 14 feet

(diameter) respectively. Find the volume of liquid the tank can hold. Use 3.14 for it. Round your

answer to the nearest tenth.

Plz help:)

Answer 1

Answer: 461.60 is the volume of liquid the tank can hold.

Explanation:

We were given;

Height H = 9 ft

Diameter D = 14 ft

Pie π = 3.14

We will make use the formula of volume of a cone to get volume of water the tank can hold because it is said that the tank is in the shape of a cone

So

V = 1/3 * πr2h

First we need to find our radius r

Radius = 1/2 of diameter = 14/2 = 7

So using the formula

V = 1/3 * πr2h

V = 1/3 (3.14 * 7² * 9)

V = (3.14 * 49 * 9)/3

V = 1384.74 / 3

V = 461.58 = 461.60 (nearest ten)
