A cylindrical storage tank has a depth of 9 ft and a radius measuring 3 ft.

Question

A cylindrical storage tank has a depth of 9 ft and a radius measuring 3 ft. If each cubic foot can hold 7.5 gallons of gasoline, what is the total storage capacity of the tank measured in gallons? (Use your calculator value of 𝜋. Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Answer 1

The volume of a cylinder is PI * radius^2 * height (depth) = 3.14 * 9 * 9 = 254.34 cubic feet

which equals 254.34 / 7.5 = 33.91 gallons
