Question

I'll fan and give a medal to whoever helps me. I also provided the diagram below. Please just help...this is really confusing and I just want t finish my assignment. The main tank has a radius of 70 feet. What is the volume of the quarter-sphered sized tank? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. You must explain your answer using words, and you must show all work and calculations to receive credit

Answer 1

what is the height? is this 3D?

Answer 2

That's one thing that's confusing about it. All the information I received, I provided on here. I was thinking I missed something on it and if someone else looked, they'd be able to understand or notice something I missed. And as far as I know, no this isn't three dimensional.

Answer 3

okay, so basically for the area of the half circle, its pie x 70^2 divided by 2
and u'll have to give me the trainer walker length to calculate the rest

Answer 4

One sec, let me plug that into my calculator. And also, as I said before, all the information I received is above. I wasn't provided with the trainer walkway length

Answer 5

and usually if ur talking about "volume" then its 3D? but its not 3D in this case, so idrk....

Answer 6

Yeah I know...I'm trying to find a height for it.

Answer 7

Answer 8

aw, u didnt have to, i didnt even help much

Answer 9

It's fine, at least you tried. I was reading over it and what exactly do you think it meant by radius? When I first read it, I thought of it as and entre sphere, not just a quarter of one. What did you see it as?

Answer 10

Seeing as we're trying to find the volume of just one fourth of a sphere, couldn't we just take the radius and use it in the formula for the volume of a sphere and then divide the total by four? The only problem I have is...what's the given radius of? Does it apply to the sphere itself, or just the one-fourth we're trying to solve for? @poisonIV
