A propane tank is in the form of a cylinder with two half-spheres, one on each end. The radius of the cylinder is the same as the radius of each half-sphere. What is the volume of a propane tank of cylindrical length 12 ft and radius 5 ft, correct to the nearest whole cubic foot?
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Volume of the two ends:
\n" ); document.write( "(4/3)(pi)r^3
\n" ); document.write( "=(4/3)(3.14)5^3
\n" ); document.write( "= 523.333 cubic feet
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Volume of center section:
\n" ); document.write( "(1/2)(pi)r^2 * length
\n" ); document.write( "= (1/2)(3.14)5^2 * 12
\n" ); document.write( "= 471 cubic feet
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Total:
\n" ); document.write( "523.333 + 471 = 994.333 cubic feet
\n" ); document.write( "Nearest whole cubic foot:
