Algebra.Com's Answer #190937 by richwmiller(17219)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Depth and height are the same thing. Height is looking from the bottom and depth from the top \n" ); document.write( "V=pi*r^2*h \n" ); document.write( "V==pi*3^2*5 volume of water at 5 ft deep. \n" ); document.write( "V=pi*9*5 \n" ); document.write( "V=45*pi \n" ); document.write( "pi=about 3.14 \n" ); document.write( "radius =1/2 diameter \n" ); document.write( "Why didn't we use 8 ft for the height ? \n" ); document.write( "We didn't fill the tank all the way but only to 5 ft. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
