@misty34 you down for these?

1) Use the formula of Pi* r^2* h

2) Plug into the formula and get  3.14*15^2*120

3) Solve this and you would find that the volume of the entire tank which would be 84,780 ft, but we  want half of the tank( or cylinder) so...

4) Then we half the volume of the full tank and we would get a volume of 42,390 ft.
