A cylindrical water tank holds 1000 L of water. Determine it's diameter if it's 1.5 m tall.
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "The volume of a cylinder is \"V+=+PI%2Ar%5E2%2Ah\"
\n" ); document.write( "1000 liters = 1 cubic meter (you have to know that)
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "So \"PI%2Ar%5E2%2A1.5+=+1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"r%5E2+=+1%2F%281.5%2API%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"r+=+sqrt%281%2F%281.5%2API%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "r = 0.46066 meters
\n" ); document.write( "r = 460.66 millimeters
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "PS it's = it is. Determine its diameter, not it's.
\n" ); document.write( "
