a storage container for oil is in the shape of a cylinder with a diameter of 10ft and a height of 17ft. what is the volume if the storage container in cubic feet?

Respuesta :

To calculate the volume, w will use the formula:

[tex]V=\pi r^2h[/tex]

where r is the radius and h is the height

From the question,

diameter = 10

This implies that; r=d/2 = 10/2 = 5

h = 17

susbtitute the values into the formula

[tex]V=\pi\times5^2\times17[/tex][tex]=425\pi\text{ cubic feet}[/tex]

If we substitute the value of pie= 22/7

[tex]V=\frac{22}{7}\times425[/tex][tex]\approx1335.71\text{ cubic f}eet[/tex]
