A propane tank is made up of a cylinder with hemispheres on each end. If the total length of the tank is 6 feet and height is 2 feet, what is the volume of the tank? Round answer to nearest cubic foot.
---------------------
The 2 hemispheres make up a sphere of diameter 2 feet. The cylinder in the middle is 2 ft diameter and 4 feet long.
The volume is the sum of the sphere and the cylinder.
{{V = (4/3)pi*r^3 + pi*(r^2)*h}}} (h is the length of the cylinder)

V = 17 cubic feet
