How much water can be held by a cylindrical tank with a radius of 12 feet and a height of 30 feet?

A. 2,260.8 cubic feet
B. 13,564.8 cubic feet
C. 54,259.20 cubic feet
D. 33,912 cubic feet

Respuesta :

To answer this, we need to use the equation for the volume of a cylinder:
[tex]V = \pi r^{2}h[/tex]
Where:
'V' : Volume
'r' : radius
'h' : height

Now we plug in our values and solve:
[tex]V = \pi (12)^{2}(30)[/tex]
[tex]V = \pi (144)(30)[/tex]
V = 13571.68 cubic feet

∴Despite not being exactly what we got, the answer must be 'B'. It is the closest value to our solution without going over. 

Hope this helps!
