Question 347119: A tank is to be constructed that will hold 5.00 X 10^5L when filled. The Shape is to be cylindrical with a hemispherical top. find the dimensions of the container (that has a volume of 500000 liters) so you can calculate the surface area.
No diameter or height given, you must find the height and diamter based on the 500,000L and no dead air space.
Tank has no dead air space

A tank is to be constructed that will hold 5.00 X 10^5L when filled. The Shape is to be cylindrical with a hemispherical top. find the dimensions of the container (that has a volume of 500000 liters) so you can calculate the surface area.
-------------
h = height of the cylinder
r = radius of the cylinder and of the hemisphere
-------------------------------
-----Cyl vol + Hemisph vol
-------------------
That's the surface area in terms of r. No numerical value of SA can be determined without a value of r. (The bottom is not included, btw)
---------------------
If you want the value of r that gives the minimum SA for the given shape and volume, that can be determined.
