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

1 answer

The formula to calculate the volume of a cylinder is given by V = πr^2h, where V is the volume, r is the radius of the base, and h is the height of the cylinder.

Given that the diameter of the tank is 3.5m, the radius would be half of that, which is r = 3.5m / 2 = 1.75m.

The height of the tank is given as 5m, which is h = 5m.

Now we can calculate the volume of the tank using the formula:

V = πr^2h
V = 3.14 * (1.75m)^2 * 5m
V = 3.14 * 3.0625m^2 * 5m
V ≈ 48.40 cubic meters

Therefore, the capacity or volume of the water tank is approximately 48.40 cubic meters.
