Question

The cylindrical giant ocean tank at the New England aquarium in Boston is 24 feet deep and has a radius of 18.8 feet find the volume of the tank

Answer 1

It is 26635.2384 because you multiply the pi times the radius18.8 to the 2nd power times the height that is 24

Answer 2

Volume formula of the cylinder (tank is cylindrical, assumed from the given)

V = Area of base × height of prism
V = $\pi$r²h
V = $\pi$(18.8)² × 24
V = 353.44$\pi$ × 24
V = 8482.56$\pi$ ft³ (in terms of $\pi$)
V = 26,648.74818 ft³
V ≈ 26,648.75 ft³
