Zoe, Aria, and Evelyn are working on a school project where they need to determine the volume of a cylindrical water tank in their school. They are asked to use 3.14 for pi and round their answer to the nearest tenth. (Enter only a number; do not include a label on your answer.)
To find the volume of the cylindrical water tank, they need to know the height and radius of the tank. Once they have those measurements, they can use the formula V = πr^2h to calculate the volume.
Let's say the radius of the tank is 5 feet and the height is 10 feet.
Using the formula, the volume of the cylinder is:
V = 3.14 × (5)^2 × 10
Simplifying the equation:
V = 3.14 × 25 × 10
V = 785 cubic feet
So, the volume of the cylindrical water tank is 785 cubic feet.
But the height is 16 ft
My apologies for the mistake. Let's recalculate the volume using the correct height of 16 feet.
The formula for the volume of a cylinder is still V = πr^2h.
Using a radius of 5 feet and a height of 16 feet:
V = 3.14 × (5)^2 × 16
V = 3.14 × 25 × 16
V = 1256 cubic feet
Therefore, the volume of the cylindrical water tank is 1256 cubic feet.
