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 sphere is
\n" ); document.write( "\"%284%2F3%29%28pi%29r%5E3\"
\n" ); document.write( "= \"%284%2F3%29%283.14%295%5E3\"
\n" ); document.write( "= 523.33 cubic feet
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Volume of the cylindrical section is
\n" ); document.write( "\"pi%2Ar%5E2+%2A+length\"
\n" ); document.write( "= \"%283.14%295%5E2+%2A+12\"
\n" ); document.write( "= 942.478 cubic feet
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Total = 523.33 + 942.78
\n" ); document.write( "=~ 1466 cubic feet
