A water tank is 5m tall and has a diameter of 3, 5 m.calculate the capacity (volume) of the tank. Use π = 3,14.

1 answer

To calculate the volume of a cylindrical tank, we can use the formula:

Volume = π * r^2 * h

Where:
- π is the value of π (3.14 in this case)
- r is the radius of the tank (half of the diameter)
- h is the height of the tank

In this case, the diameter of the tank is 3.5m, so the radius is half of that: r = 3.5m / 2 = 1.75m
The height of the tank is given as 5m.

Now we can substitute these values into the formula:

Volume = 3.14 * (1.75m)^2 * 5m
Volume = 3.14 * 3.0625m^2 * 5m
Volume = 48.665625m^3

So, the capacity of the tank is approximately 48.67 cubic meters.
