Question:A water tank is shaped like the cone shown here. How much water can the tank​ hold? Use 3.14 for . If water is drained from the tank to fill smaller tanks that each hold 200 m³ of​ water, how many smaller tanks can it fill

Answer:

Amount of water = 871.87 in³

Number of tanks = 4 tanks

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying,

V = 1/3πr²h........... Equation 1.

Where V = volume of the tank, h = height, r = radius.

From the diagram attached,

Given: h = 17 m, r = 7 m.

Substitute these values into equation 1

V = 1/3(17)(7²)(3.14)

V = 871.87 m³.

Hence the amount of water the tank can hold is 871.87 m³

If the water is drained to a tank of 200 m³,

The number of tanks it can fill is = 871.87/200 = 4 tanks.
