In order to store paint, a factory has purchased a cylindrical tank that is 6 feet across and 9 feet deep. What is the maximum number of cubic feet of paint the tank will hold?

Answer: 254.46 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, since the tank is 6 feet across, it means that its diameter is 6 feet.

Radius (r) = diameter / 2 = 6/2 = 3 feet

Having the radius, we can calculate the volume of the cylinder.

V = π r^2 h

Where v is the volume and h is the height. (the deep of the tank in our case)

Replacing with our values:

V = π 3^2 (9)

V = π 9 (9) = 254.46 cubic feet

The volume is equal to the maximum number of cubic feet of paint that the tank can hold
