The volume of the tank can be calculated using the Volume of a cylinder formula, which is:
[tex]V=\pi\cdot r^2\cdot h[/tex]
Where:
v = volume;
r = radius;
h = height.
In this exercise:
r = Diameter/2 = 12/2 = 6 ft
h = 16 ft
So, substituting the values:
[tex]\begin{gathered} V=\pi\cdot6^2\cdot16 \\ V=\pi\cdot36\cdot16 \\ V=576\pi \end{gathered}[/tex]
Using π = 3.14:
[tex]\begin{gathered} V=576\cdot3.14 \\ V=1808.64 \\ V=1809ft^3 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Answer:
The volume of the tank is 1809 ft³.
