It sits in a drain pan that has a diameter of 22 inches and a height of 2 inches.Water that leaks out of the water heater sits in the drain pan. Which of the following is closest to the maximum amount of water that the drain pan can contain with the water heater in its current position?
The smaller drain pan has a volume of 759.88 ( V= 3.14 x (11)^2 x (2)) However, how do you find the volume of the second cylinder? There is no height this is where I am lost... Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Usually water heaters have legs that don't displace much water.
If it's not on legs, use 2" for the height. Any water above 2" will overflow.
