Answer with Step-by-step explanation:
An oil storage tank is a cylinder 30 feet high.
The base of the tank is a circle with a diameter of 50 feet.
The water in tank will be equal to the volume of the tank.
We know that volume of cylinder is given by:
V=πr²h
where r is the radius and h is the height
Here, r=25 feet (since radius=diameter/2)
and h=30 feet
Volume=3.14×25×25×30
=58875 cubic feet
1 gallon=0.13 cubic feet
1 cubic feet=1/0.13 gallon
58875 cubic feet=58875/0.13 gallons
= 452884.62 gallons
Hence, water in tank equals:
452884.62 gallons
