Holding Tank Calculations:
2. The holding tanks are congruent in size, and both are in the shape of a cylinder that has been cut in half vertically. The bottom of the tank is a curved surface. What is the volume of both tanks if the radius of tank #1 is 15 feet and the height of tank #2 is 120 feet? You must explain your answer using words, and you must show all work and calculations to receive credit.

This one's pretty easy :)

anonymous · Answer

The volume formula for cylinders is V=πr2h so...

anonymous · Answer

3.14*15^2*120
3.14*225*120
84,780ft

anonymous · Answer

So, 84,780ft is the volume of the whole tank. now how would you find the volume of two of the tanks?

anonymous · Answer

Simple, you take that number (84,780ft) and divide it by two.

anonymous · Answer

After you do that you get?

gabylovesyou · Answer

42, 390 ?

anonymous · Answer

Yes! so that's the how much one tank would equal to.

anonymous · Answer

And then once you multiply how much one tank equal by two you get the volume of the full tank which is...84,780ft
