Question

A cylindrical oil storage tank has a height of 10 meters and a diameter of 24 meters. If the tank is full, how much oil does it contain? Round to the nearest tenth of a kiloliter (1 m3 = 1 kL). Use 3.14 for π.

Answer 1

V = (π/4)d^2*h
Using the given numbers,
  V = (3.14/4)*(24 m)^2*(10 m)
  V = 4521.6 m^3

The volume is 4521.6 kL.

Answer 2

Solution:

we are given that

A cylindrical oil storage tank has a height of 10 meters and a diameter of 24 meters.

we have been asked to find

If the tank is full, how much oil does it contain? Use 3.14 for π.

Oil containing capacity of tank=volume of the Tank

As we know that the volume of the cylindrical tank is given by the formula

$V=\pi*r^2*h$

Here r=12 m, h=10m, substitute the values we get

$V=\pi*12^2*10$

$V=3.14*144*10$

$V=4521.6m^3$

$V=4521.6KL$
