A cylindrical tank has a radius of 15 feet and a height of 45 feet. How many cubic feet of water can the tank hold
Question
Answer:
Since you are trying to find how much water you need to fill the tank, you have to find the area of the cylinder.The equation for finding the area of a cylinder is [tex]3.14( radius^{2} ) Height[/tex]
Make sure you multiply the radius by itself and then multiply 3.14 and not the height.
Do the problems in bold
1. 3.14([tex] 15^{2} [/tex]) 45
Find 15 x 15
2. 3.14(225) 45
Multiply 3.14 x 225
3. 706 x 45
Multiply 706 x 45
4. 31770
The maximum amount of water the tank can hold is 31,700 [tex] feet^{3} [/tex]
