Use 3.14 for Pie. Use v=pie x radius squared x height
A cylindrical water tank has the radius of 5m and a height of 10 m. The volume of water in the tank is 565.2 cubic meters
a) What is the height of the water in the tank?
We have the formula for the volume of the cylinder as:
V = πr^2h
Substituting the given values, we get:
565.2 = 3.14 x 5^2 x h
Simplifying:
565.2 = 78.5h
h = 565.2 / 78.5
h ≈ 7.2 meters
Therefore, the height of the water in the tank is approximately 7.2 meters.
To find the height of the water in the tank, we can rearrange the formula:
V = πr²h
Given:
V = 565.2 cubic meters
π ≈ 3.14
r = 5m
Substituting the values into the formula:
565.2 = 3.14 x 5² x h
Simplifying the equation:
565.2 = 3.14 x 25 x h
565.2 = 78.5h
Dividing both sides by 78.5:
h = 565.2 / 78.5
h ≈ 7.2m
Therefore, the height of the water in the tank is approximately 7.2 meters.
