Two containers designed to hold water are side by side, both in the shape of a cylinder. Container A has a diameter of 18 feet and a height of 17 feet. Container B has a diameter of 20 feet and a height of 16 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 calculate the volume of water in Container A and then transfer it to Container B.
Volume of Container A:
Radius of Container A = 18 feet / 2 = 9 feet
Volume of Container A = π * (9 feet)^2 * 17 feet = 1,531.25 cubic feet
Volume of Container B:
Radius of Container B = 20 feet / 2 = 10 feet
Volume of water in Container B = 1,531.25 cubic feet
Therefore, the volume of water in Container B after pumping is complete is 1,532.5 cubic feet to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot.
