Question

A gas tank has a height of 8 feet and a width of 6 feet. What is the volume, in cubic feet, of the gas tank? Use 3.14 for pi. Express your answer as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth.(1 point)
___ cubic feet

Answer 1

Assume the tank is a right circular cylinder with diameter (width) 6 ft, so radius r = 3 ft and height h = 8 ft. Volume = πr^2h = π(3^2)(8) = 72π. Using π = 3.14 gives 72·3.14 = 226.08.

226.08 cubic feet
