Question

jerry, skyler, and katie were measuring a tank (cylinder) for storing the water. working together, jerry and skyler determined the circumference was approximately 295.3 feet. katie measured the height to be about 40 feet. what is the potential volume of the tank? (round your answer to the nearest tenth.) please enter your answer without using the thousand separator (.).

Explanation:

Step1: Find radius from circumference

$r = \frac{C}{2\pi} = \frac{295.3}{2\pi} \approx 47$ feet

Step2: Calculate cylinder volume

$V = \pi r^2 h = \pi (47)^2 (40) \approx 277591.8$ cubic feet

Answer:

277591.8
