Question 1029578: Water flows at a rate of 6000 cubic inches per minute into a cylindrical tank. The tank has a diameter of 180 inches and a height of 72 inches. What is the height, in inches, of the water in the tank after 5 minutes? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1 minute: 6000
5 minutes: 5*6000 = 30,000
```````````````````````````````````````````````````
radius:
180/2= 90 inches radius
area of base:
Pi*r^2
Pi*90^2 = 25,446.90
Now the height:
25,446.90*h = 30,000
h = 30,000/25,446.90 = 1.179 inches
