1 liter = 1 cubic decimeter = 1\"dm%5E3\"
\n" ); document.write( "2.1 m = 21 decimeters = 21 dm
\n" ); document.write( "600 mm = 6 decimeters = 6 dm\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "What is the shape of the container?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If it a cylindrical tank with a 2.1 meter (21 dm) diameter and a 600 mm (6 dm) height,
\n" ); document.write( "its radius is \"21dm%2F2=10.5+dm\" .
\n" ); document.write( "Then, since the volume of a cylinder can be calculated as
\n" ); document.write( "\"Volume=pi%2Aradius%5E2%2Aheight=pi%2Aradius%2Aradius%2Aheight\" , the volume (in cubic decimeters, or liters)
\n" ); document.write( "that such a tank can hold (filled all the way to the rim) is
\n" ); document.write( "\"pi%2A10.5%2A10.5%2A6=about3.14%2A10.5%2A10.5%2A6=about2077.11=about2080\"
\n" ); document.write( "For practical purposes, you could easily fit 2,000 liters of water.
