Question

The water inside a right cylinder tank is 6 inches above the bottom part of the tank of radius 1 feet and length 2 feet. Find the volume of the water.

Answer 1

`\huge \boxed{\mathrm{2714.34 \ in^3 }}`

Explanation:

The volume formula for a right cylinder is given as :

`V=\pi r^2 h`

`V \Rightarrow \sf volume`

`h \Rightarrow \sf height`

`r \Rightarrow \sf radius`

The radius 1 feet ⇒ 12 inches

The height of the water in the cylinder is 6 inches

`V=\pi (12)^2 (6)`

`V= 2714.336053...`

The volume of the water is 2714.34 cubic inches.

Answer 2

864π in³

Explanation:

Volume of the water is equivalent to the volume of a cylinder = πr²h where;

r is the radius of the cylindrical tank

h is the height of the water

Given parameters

radius of the cylindrical tank r = 1feet = 12 inches

height of the water inside the tank = 6inches

Volume of the water = πr²h

Volume of the water = π(12)²*6

Volume of the water = π*144*6

Volume of the water = 864π in³

Hence the volume of the water is 864π in³
