A water tank has the shape of a cone with the vertex down.
\n" ); document.write( " The tank is 10 m high and has a base radius of 3 m.
\n" ); document.write( " When the water in the tank is 5 m deep, what is the area of the surface of the water at that instant? (Hint: make a sketch and set up similar triangles.)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Note a right triangle formed by the radius as one side the height the other side.
\n" ); document.write( "If the height is cut in half, the radius side is half also 1.5 m
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+pi%2A1.5%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "A = 7.07 sq/m
\n" ); document.write( "
