Question

The radius of a cylinder water tank is 4 ft, and its height is 12 ft. What is the volume of the tank?

Use the value 3.14 for it, and round your answer to the nearest whole number.
Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.

Answer 1

The answer is 603 ft³

Explanation:

Volume of a cylinder is given by

`V = \pi {r}^(2) h \\`

where

r is the radius

h is the height of the cylinder

From the question

r = 4 ft

h = 12 ft

π = 3.14

So we have

`V = (3.14) ({4})^(2) (12) \\ = (3.14)(16)(12) \\ = 602.88`

We have the final answer as

603 ft³ to the nearest whole number
