Answer:
Volume of tank = 461,814 ft³
Step-by-step explanation:
Congruent tanks implies that both tanks are of identifical shape, form & dimensions. Congruent means that the tanks have the same radius as well as height. Hence, the heights and radii of tanks #1 and #2 are equal and the same.
Let's list out the information given us:
radius(tank #1) = 35 ft ⇒ radius(tank #2) = 35 ft, height(tank #2) = 120 ft ⇒ height(tank #2) = 120 ft
Volume of cylinder = πr²h
The tanks have been cut into half, as such:
Volume of tank = ½πr²h
Volume of tank = Volume(tank #1) + Volume(tank #2)
Since the tanks are congruent (same dimensions), we have:
⇒ ½πr²h + ½πr²h ⇒ πr²h
Volume of tank = π * 35² * 120 = 147,000 π
Volume of tank = <u>461,814</u> ft³
