To find the volume of a cylindrical water tank, use the formula for the volume of a cylinder:
V = pi r^2 h
Given:
- Radius ( r ) = 6 feet
- Height ( h ) = 15 feet
- Use pi approx 3.14
Plug the values into the formula:
V = 3.14 times (6^2) times 15
V = 3.14 times 36 times 15
V = 3.14 times 540
V approx 1695.6
Rounded to the nearest whole number, the volume is:
1696 cubic feet
