Zoe, Aria, and Evelyn are working on a school project where they need to determine the volume of a cylindrical water tank in their school. They are asked to use 3.14 for pi and round their answer to the nearest tenth. (Enter only a number; do not include a label on your answer.)

Answer 1

To find the volume of the cylindrical water tank, they need to know the height and radius of the tank. Once they have those measurements, they can use the formula V = πr^2h to calculate the volume.

Let's say the radius of the tank is 5 feet and the height is 10 feet.

Using the formula, the volume of the cylinder is:
V = 3.14 × (5)^2 × 10

Simplifying the equation:
V = 3.14 × 25 × 10
V = 785 cubic feet

So, the volume of the cylindrical water tank is 785 cubic feet.

Answer 2

But the height is 16 ft

Answer 3

My apologies for the mistake. Let's recalculate the volume using the correct height of 16 feet.

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is still V = πr^2h.

Using a radius of 5 feet and a height of 16 feet:

V = 3.14 × (5)^2 × 16
V = 3.14 × 25 × 16
V = 1256 cubic feet

Therefore, the volume of the cylindrical water tank is 1256 cubic feet.
