The radius of the tank can be found using
26^2 = 14^2 + r^2
r^2 = 480
since the radius is perpendicular to any tangent line.
Now just plug in
v = pi*r^2*h
= pi*480*10
You're standing 14 feet from the edge of a cylindrical water tank and is 26 feet from the point of tangency. the tank is 10 feet tall. what is the volume in cubic feet
