Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the volume of a cylinder is
V = πr²h
Data:
V = 20 000 gal
h = 34.5 ft
Calculations:
I assume the gasoline tank is lying on its side, so we are asked to find the diameter of the tank.
(a) Convert the volume to cubic feet
V= 20 000 gal × (1 ft³/7.48 gal) = 2674 ft³
(b) Calculate the radius of the tank
V = πr²h
r² = V/(πh) = 2674/(π × 34.5) = 24.67 ft²
r = √24.67 = 4.967 ft
(c) Calculate the diameter of the tank
d = 2r = 9.934 ft
(d) Calculate the length of the measuring pole
l = d + 1 = 9.934 + 1 =
