Two designs for an oil storage tank are being considered: spherical and cylindrical.
The two tanks would have the same capacity and would each have an inside diameter of 30 feet. What would be the height of the cylindrical tank?
:
radius of both tanks = 15 ft
:
let h = the height of the cylinder
:
Cylinder vol = Sphere vol
divide both sides by , resulting in a simple equation:
h = r
h = *15
h = 20 ft is the height
