Question

A storage tank has a height of 10 feet and a radius of 3 feet. The tank is 1/4 full of oil. How much oil in cubic feet is currently in the cylindrical tank? Leave in terms of pi

Answer 1

The amount of oil currently in the cylindrical tank is 45π cubic feet.

What is volume?

Volume is the capacity of a solid object.

To calculate the capacity of the oil in the cylindrical tank, we use the answer below.

Formula:

• V = πr²h/4........... Equation 1

Where:

• V = The volume of oil in the tank
• h = Height of the tank
• r = radius of the tank.

From the question,

Given:

• h = 10 feet
• r = 3 feet

Substitute these values into equation 1

• V = π×10×3²/2
• V = π×5×9
• V = 45π cubic feet

Hence, the amount of oil currently in the cylindrical tank is 45π cubic feet.
