Suppose that an oil storage tank is 10 m wide and 10 m high. How many kiloliters of oil can it hold?
From your textbook or in your notes you should find the formula for the volume of a cylinder.
And of course the beauty of the metric system means that 1 m^3 will hold 1000 L.
let me know what you get.
10,000?
no
volume of cylinder = πr^2h
= π(5^2)(10)
= 250π
= appr. 785 cubic metres
or 785 kilolitres
To calculate the volume of the oil storage tank, we need to multiply the width, height, and depth of the tank together. However, since you have only provided the width and height, we are missing the depth.
If you have the depth measurement, you can multiply it with the width and height to get the volume of the tank.
However, assuming that by "depth" you meant the vertical dimension of the tank (height), we can calculate the volume of the tank using the provided width and height. In this case, the volume of the tank will be the same as the area of its base since the height is equal to the depth.
So, to calculate the volume in kiloliters, we will use the following formula:
Volume = Width × Height
Substituting the values you provided:
Volume = 10 m × 10 m = 100 m^2
Since 1 kiloliter is equal to 1 cubic meter, we can convert the volume from cubic meters to kiloliters:
Volume = 100 m^2 = 100 kiloliters
Therefore, the oil storage tank can hold 100 kiloliters of oil.
