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.
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The 2 hemispheres make up a sphere of diameter 2 feet. The cylinder in the middle is 2 ft diameter and 4 feet long.
\n" ); document.write( "The volume is the sum of the sphere and the cylinder.
\n" ); document.write( "{{V = (4/3)pi*r^3 + pi*(r^2)*h}}} (h is the length of the cylinder)
\n" ); document.write( "\"V+=+pi%2Ar%5E2%2A%284r%2F3+%2B+h%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"V+=+pi%2A%284%2F3+%2B+4%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"V+=+%2816pi%2F3%29\" cf
\n" ); document.write( "\"V+=+16.76\" cf
\n" ); document.write( "V = 17 cubic feet\r
