If a plant manufacturing carpet backing has a cylindrical tank that is 3 meters high and is 6 meters in diameter, what is the volume of the tank? Assume 3.14 for pi.

1 answer

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.

Given that the diameter is 6 meters, the radius would be half of that, which is 3 meters.

Plugging in the values, we get:

V = 3.14 * (3)^2 * 3
V = 3.14 * 9 * 3
V = 84.78 cubic meters

Therefore, the volume of the cylindrical tank is 84.78 cubic meters.
