A cylindrical water container is 6 meters high and has a diameter of 10 meters. To the nearest cubic meter, how many cubic meters of water will the container hold when it is half full?

Question

A cylindrical water container is 6 meters high and has a diameter of 10 meters. To the nearest cubic meter, how many cubic meters of water will the container hold when it is half full?

Answer 1

The volume of the cylindrical water container = π r² d , r = D/2 = 10m /2 = 5 m , and d = h/2 for half full container , d = 6m /2 = 3m

The volume in cubic meters is = π (5m)² (3m) = 75 π m³ = 235.62 m³
