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

1 answer

the value of pi.

First, we need to find the radius of the cone. The radius is half of the diameter, so:

Radius = 12 feet / 2 = 6 feet

Next, we can calculate the volume of the cone using the formula:

Volume = (1/3) * pi * radius^2 * height

Volume = (1/3) * 3.14 * 6^2 * 15

Volume = (1/3) * 3.14 * 36 * 15

Volume = (1/3) * 3.14 * 540

Volume = 565.68 cubic feet

Therefore, the water tank can hold approximately 565.7 cubic feet of water.
