Marjorie needs to calculate how much water a cylindrical tank will hold. The tank is 9 feet high and has a diameter of 5 feet. Her work is shown below. Step 1: Step 2: Step 3: Step 4: cubic feet What error did Marjorie make when calculating the volume of the tank?

Question
Answer:
Answer:The volume of the cylindrical tank is 176.625 cubic feet.Step-by-step explanation:Given : The tank is 9 feet high and has a diameter of 5 feet. To find : Marjorie needs to calculate how much water a cylindrical tank will hold ?Solution : The volume of a cylinder is [tex]V=\pi r^2 h[/tex]The diameter is d=5 feetThe radius is [tex]r=\frac{d}{2}[/tex] [tex]r=\frac{5}{2}=2.5[/tex] feet.The height is h=9 feet.Substitute the value in the formula,[tex]V=3.14\times (2.5)^2\times 9[/tex][tex]V=3.14\times 6.25\times 9[/tex][tex]V=176.625[/tex]The volume of the cylindrical tank is 176.625 cubic feet.
