A water storage tank is in the shape of a hemisphere​ (half a​ sphere). If the radius is 20 ​ft, approximate the volume of the tank in cubic feet.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The approximate volume of the tank is [tex]V=16,747\ ft^{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of a hemisphere (water storage tank) is equal to

[tex]V=\frac{4}{6}\pi r^{3}[/tex]

we have

[tex]r=20\ ft[/tex]

assume

[tex]\pi =3.14[/tex]

substitute

[tex]V=\frac{4}{6}(3.14)(20)^{3}[/tex]

[tex]V=16,747\ ft^{3}[/tex]
