Answer 1

$706.50 to rent one water tank.

The volume of the tank can be calculated by taking the area of the base times the height.

The area of the base is found by taking the radius²×pi: 5²×3.14=78.5.

The multiply that by the height to find the volume: 78.5×3=235.5.

To find the cost of renting the tank, multiply the volume of the tank by the price per cubic foot : 235.5×3=$706.50
