Question

The outside of the water storage tank is in the shape of a sphere. Approximate to the nearest hundredth the volume of the tank with a radius of 15.1 feet. Use 3.14 for pie.

Answer 1

To find:

The volume of the sphere tank whose radius is 15.1 feet.

Solution:

The formula used to find the volume of a sphere whose radius is r is:

$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

For the given question, r = 15.1. So, the volume is:

$\begin{gathered} V=\frac{4}{3}\times3.14\times(15.1)^3 \\ V=14414.488\text{ cu ft} \end{gathered}$

Thus, the volume to the nearest hundredth is 14414.49 cu ft.

So, option B is correct.
