: A cylindrical water tank has a base with a diameter of 2 ft and is 4 ft tall. How many gallons of water will the tank hold? (1 cubic foot equals 7.5 gallons) This question is from textbook
You can put this solution on YOUR website! First, determine the volume of the cylinder:
volume = (pi)r^2h
where
pi is 3.14
r is radius (1 ft)
h is height (4 ft)
.
volume = (pi)r^2h
volume = (3.14)(1^2)4
volume = (3.14)(1)4
volume = (3.14)4
volume = 12.56 cubic feet
.
Since each cubic feet holds 7.5 gallons:
12.56 * 7.5 = 94.2 gallons
