Q:

The Springfield water tower, shown below, has a diameter of 24 meters.The tank is about 1/3 full of water. What is the approximate volume of the water in the tank? A. 1,060 cubic meters B. 6,360 cubic meters C. 19,080 cubic meters D. 25,440 cubic meters

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:≈ 6360 m³Step-by-step explanation:Volume of a cylinder = πr²hradius = 12 m,  h= 42.2 mTherefore;  V = 3.142 × 12² × 42.2                             = 19093.3056 m²Since the tank 1/3 full of water; Volume = 1/3 × 19093.3056 m³                             = 6364.4352 m³                               ≈ 6360 m³
