Question

Joe bought a cylindrical water tank for his garden, but he forgot to ask the seller what the diameter of the tank was. He needs to know the diameter of the tank so that he can build a platform for it to sit on. The seller told him the Volume and the height, calculate the diameter of the tank using the information below. The volume of the tank is 300π 〖ft〗^3 and its height is 10ft.

Answer 1

Answer:

1.7ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Volume of tank=  300π 〖ft〗^3

Height of tank= 10ft

The expression for the volume of a cylinder is given as

Volume= πr^2h

Substitute

300π = π *r^2*10

300= r^2*100

3= r^2

r= √3

r= 1.7 ft

Hence the radius of the cylinder is 1.7ft
