The area of base is 0.25 square meter
Solution:
Given that,
The capacity of a cylindrical fuel tank is 2.5 kl and its height 10 m
To find: area of base
The volume of cylinder is given as:
[tex]V = \pi r^2h[/tex]
The area of base of cylinder is area of circle
[tex]Area\ of\ circle = \pi r^2[/tex]
Therefore,
[tex]V = base\ area \times height[/tex]
From given,
h = 10 m
v = 2.5 kl
1 kilo liter = 1 cubic meter
Therefore,
2.5 kl = 2.5 cubic meter
Substitute height = 10 and volume = 2.5
[tex]2.5 = base\ area \times 10\\\\ base\ area = \frac{2.5}{10}\\\\ base\ area = 0.25[/tex]
Thus area of base is 0.25 square meter
