storing heating oil

Question

a home has a tank for storing heating oil outside it is a cylinder with a radius of 4 feet and a length of 12 feet. what is the capacity of the oil tank rounded to the nearest cubic foot

Answer 1

Hi Mariah, the volume of the tank is given by the equation, V = π * r² * h, where r is the radius and h is the height of the tank

 

r = 4 feet

 

h = 12 feet

 

V = π * 4² * 12

 

V = 603 cubic feet, rounded.

 

Questions?

Answer 2

Volume=PI r² h 

=3.14(4)²(12)

=602.88 cu ft so rounded to nearest cu ft is 603

Answer 3

V = bh

 

V = (4²)π(12)

V = 192π

V ≈ 603.1857
