Question

how much water could my well hold if the depth of the well is 30ft and the diameter of the well is 24ft

Answer 1

Answer:

$4,320\pi\ ft^{3}$  or  $13,564.8\ ft^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of the cylinder (well) is equal to

$V=\pi r^{2}h$

we have

$h=30\ ft$

$r=24/2=12\ ft$

substitute

$V=\pi (12)^{2}(30)$

$V=4,320\pi\ ft^{3}$

assume

$\pi=3.14$

substitute

$V=4,320(3.14)=13,564.8\ ft^{3}$
