A company rents water tanks shaped like cylinders. Each tank has a radius of 5 feet and a height of 3 feet. The cost is $3 per cubic foot. How much does it cost to rent one water tank?

Question

Use 3.14 for pi,and don't round your answer.

Answer 1

Volume of a CYLINDER = (area of the circle) (height)

.......................................= (pi) (radius squared) (height)

.......................................= (3.14) (5 ft x 5 ft) (3 ft)

.......................................= (3.14) (25 sq ft) (3 ft)

.......................................= (3.14) (75 cu ft)

.......................................= 235.5 cu ft

Each CUBIC FOOT is rented for $3.

So, for 235.5 cu ft, multiply (235.5)($3) = $ 706.50
