Question

the cylindrical giant ocean tank at the new england aquarium in boston is 24 feet deep and has a radius of 18.8 feet. find the volume of the tank. use the 3.14 for $pi$ and round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall volume formula for cylinder

$V=\pi r^{2}h$

Step2: Substitute given values

$r = 18.8$, $h=24$, $\pi = 3.14$
$V=3.14\times(18.8)^{2}\times24$

Step3: Calculate $(18.8)^{2}$

$(18.8)^{2}=18.8\times18.8 = 353.44$

Step4: Calculate $3.14\times353.44$

$3.14\times353.44 = 1110.7016$

Step5: Calculate $1110.7016\times24$

$1110.7016\times24=26656.8384$

Step6: Round to nearest tenth

$V\approx26656.8$

Answer:

$26656.8$
