Answer:
d = 13.8 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Because we are talking about cubic feet of water, we need the formula for the VOLUME of a cylinder. That formula is

We will use 3.141592654 for pi; if the tank HALF filled with water is at 20 feet, then the height of the tank is 40 feet, so h = 40; and the volume it can hold in total is 6000 cubic feet. Filling in then gives us:

Simplify on the right to get

Divide both sides by 125.6637061 to get that

Taking the square root of both sides gives you
r = 6.90988299
But the diameter is twice the radius, so multiply that r value by 2 to get that the diameter to the nearest tenth of a foot is 13.8
Finding an arc length requires knowing a bit about the geometry of a circle. Since the arc is a portion of the circumference, if you know what portion of 360 degrees the arc’s central angle is, you can easily find the length of the arc.
Answer:
Hours driven= 40 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Giving the following information:
Variable income= $21.6 per hour
Fixed income= $250
Total income= $1,114
<u>To calculate the number of hours driven, we need to use the following formula:</u>
Total income= fixed income + hourly rate*number of hours
1,114 = 250 + 21.6*x
864 = 21.6x
864 / 21.6 = x
40=x
Hours driven= 40 hours
