The formula to calculate the volume of a cone is V = (1/3) * π * r^2 * h, where r is the radius of the base of the cone and h is the height of the cone.
Since the diameter of the cone is 12 feet, the radius (r) is half of the diameter, which is 12/2 = 6 feet.
Now we can plug in the values into the formula:
V = (1/3) * 3.14 * 6^2 * 15
V = (1/3) * 3.14 * 36 * 15
V = (1/3) * 3.14 * 540
V = 565.2 cubic feet
So, the water tank can hold approximately 565.2 cubic feet of water.
A water tank in the shape of a cone has a diameter of 12 feet and a height of 15 feet. What volume of water, in cubic feet, can the tank hold? Round your answer to the nearest tenth and use 3.14 for pi
