Answer: 0.22 kilolitre

Explanation:

First, let’s find the volume of the tank. We know the volume of a cylinder is represented by the equation V=πr^2h,

Radius = 1 m

Height = 7 cm = .07 m

The tank is 0.22 cubic meters

Now that we found the volume, we will try to find how many liters are in the tank.

1 cubic meter = 1 kilolitre

So, 0.22 cu. m = 0.22 kilolitre
