Two containers designed to hold water are side by side, both in the shape of a cylinder. Container A has a radius of 3 feet and a height of 18 feet. Container B has a radius of 6 feet and a height of 9 feet. Container A is full of water and the water is pumped into Container B until Container A is empty.
After the pumping is complete, what is the volume of water in Container B, to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot?
First, we need to find the volume of water in Container A.
The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.
For Container A:
V = π(3)^2(18) = 162π ≈ 508.9 cubic feet
Since all the water from Container A is transferred to Container B, the volume of water in Container B will also be 508.9 cubic feet.
Therefore, the volume of water in Container B, to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot, is 508.9 cubic feet.
