The formula to calculate the volume of a cylinder is V = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.
Given that the diameter is 6 meters, the radius (r) would be half of that, so r = 3 m. The height (h) is 3 meters.
Plugging in the values:
V = 3.14 * (3^2) * 3
V = 3.14 * 9 * 3
V = 84.78 m^3
Therefore, the volume of the tank is approximately 84.8 m^3.
The closest option is D. 84.8 m^3.
If a plant manufacturing carpet backing has a cylindrical tank that is 3 meters high and is 6 meters in diameter, what is the volume of the tank? Assume 3.14 for pi.
A. 28.3 m^3
B.37.7 m^3
C.56.5 m^3
D.84.8 m^3
