Question
A gas tank has a height of 8 feet and a width of 6 feet. What is the volume, in cubic feet, of the gas tank? Use 3.14 for pi.(1 point)
cubic feet
To find the volume of the gas tank, you need to use the formula for the volume of a cylinder: V = πr^2h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height.
In this case, the width of the gas tank is given as 6 feet, which is equal to the diameter of the base. The radius (r) is half the diameter, so r = 6/2 = 3 feet.
Using the given height of 8 feet and the radius of 3 feet, you can plug these values into the formula to calculate the volume:
V = 3.14 * (3^2) * 8
= 3.14 * 9 * 8
= 226.08 cubic feet
Therefore, the volume of the gas tank is 226.08 cubic feet.
