Question

A gas company’s delivery truck has a cylindrical tank that is 16 feet in diameter and 48 feet long. How much gas can fit in the tank? Show or explain your work (Round to the nearest whole number)​

Answer 1

Answer: V=9651 ft^3

Explanation: This is a volume question and the formula for volume of a cylinder is πr^2h.

The radius is the diameter divided by 2, which is 8.

We can put the equation in terms of π by doing π*(8^2*48)=3072π.

Solving this gives us about 9650.972632, which you can round to get 9651.
