I have 2 geometry questions:
1. Use 3.14 to approximate pi and express your answer in hundredths. What is the
volume of a sphere that has a radius of 7.5 ft? I got 1766.25

2.A storage tank holds 235,500 in3 of a chemical. The chemical is dispensed to completely fill 25 identical cylindrical containers, each with a radius of 5 in. What is the height of the cylindrical containers? Use 3.14 to approximate pi. (I don't know this one.)

Answer :

Solutions 

A sphere has a radius of 7.5 ft. To find the volume we need to use this equation ≥ v=4/3πr³.   

π = ( 3. 14) 

r = 7.5 

Calculations 

v=4/3πr³ 

v=4/3π ( 7.5 x 7.5 x 7.5 ) 

v=4/3
π  (421) 

v=4/3 (3.14) (421) 

v=4/3 (
1321) 

v=1.3 (1321) 

v = 
1717.3.

Solutions 

A storage tank holds 235,500 in³ of a chemical. The chemical is dispensed to completely fill 25 identical cylindrical containers, each with a radius of 5 inches. 

To solve this problem we have to use this equation - 
V = πr²h. We know the radius is 5 and the volume is 235,500³. 

Calculations 

V = πr²
235,500³ = (3.14)(5)²)h
235,500³ = (3.14) (25))h
235,500³ = 78.5

[tex] \frac{235,500}{78.5} [/tex] [tex] \frac{78.5}{78.5} [/tex] 

235,500 
÷ 78.5 = h 

h = 3000
