To determine the volume (V) of a cylinder, you can use the formula:
V = πr^2h
Where:
- V represents the volume of the cylinder,
- π (pi) is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14159,
- r is the radius of the base of the cylinder, and
- h is the height of the cylinder.
In the given problem, the height of the cylindrical water tank near Lisa's school is 18 meters. However, the circumference of the cylinder is provided, not the radius.
To calculate the radius (r) from the circumference (C), you can use the formula:
C = 2πr
Rearranging the formula to solve for r:
r = C / (2π)
Plugging in the given circumference of 33 meters:
r = 33 / (2π)
Now that you have the value of r, you can substitute it into the volume formula to find the volume of the cylinder.
