Answer:

1570.796 feet cubed

Step-by-step explanation:

First you find the surface area of the base of the cylinder which should look like this:

(10^2)(π)

Next you multiply that by the height (5 feet) because 3d shapes are bases stacked on each other which should look like this:

314.1592654(5)

After that arithmetic you will get 1570.796 or 1570.8 rounded as your answer!

First, we must know the formula for solving the volume of a cylinder, which is $V = \pi r^2 h$ . Since the water is only being filled to 5 feet, we do not care about the 0.5 feet of the height.

Using the formula, we need to plug-in the numbers for the radius (20 divided by 2 is 10) and height. Doing this, the equation should now look like this: $V = 3.14 * 10^2 * 5$ . When solving, the volume of the water is 1570 feet cubed.
