Question

Tina has an old fish tank in the shape of a circular cylinder. The tank is 2 feet in diameter and 6 feet high. How many cubic feet of water does it hold?

Answer 1

Answer:

The tank can hold 18.84 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shape: Cylinder

$D = 2ft$ -- Diameter

$H = 6ft$ -- Height

Required

Determine the volume

First, calculate the radius (r)

$r = \frac{1}{2}D$

$r = \frac{1}{2}*2ft$

$r = 1ft$

The volume (V) of the tank is:

$V = \pi r^2h$

Substitute values for r and h

$V = 3.14 *1^2*6$

$V = 3.14 *1*6$

$V = 18.84$

Hence, the tank can hold 18.84 cubic feet
