A tanker truck has an elliptic cylinder container used to haul liquid. How much liquid can it hold? length is 20 ft the hight is 5 and the width is 10

Answer 1

To find the volume of the elliptic cylinder container, you can use the formula:

V = π * a * b * h

Where:
- V is the volume
- a is the major radius (half of the length), so a = 20/2 = 10 ft
- b is the minor radius (half of the width), so b = 10/2 = 5 ft
- h is the height of the cylinder, which is 5 ft

Plugging in the values:

V = π * 10 * 5 * 5
V = π * 250
V ≈ 785.4 cubic feet

Therefore, the tanker truck can hold approximately 785.4 cubic feet of liquid.
