Algebra.Com's Answer #549149 by KMST(5328) You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1 liter = 1 cubic decimeter = 1 \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 \n" ); document.write( "Then, since the volume of a cylinder can be calculated as \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "that such a tank can hold (filled all the way to the rim) is \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "For practical purposes, you could easily fit 2,000 liters of water. \n" ); document.write( " |
