Question 288026: If there are 7.5 gallons to the cubic foot, and a spherical storage tank has a radius of 10.5 ft, then using 3.14159 for π ,how many gallons, correct to the nearest whole gallon, will the full storage tank hold? Answer by nerdybill(7384) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Volume of a sphere:
(4/3)(pi)r^3
.
(4/3)(3.14159)10.5^3
= (4/3)(3.14159)10.5^3
= 4849.044 cubic feet
.
Gallons:
7.5 * 4849.044 = 36367.83 gallons
Nearest whole gallon then is
36367 gallons (because you have to round down)
