The plant where you work has a cylindrical oil tank that is 2.5 feet across on the inside and 10 feet high. The depth of the oil in the tank is 2 feet. About how many gallons of oil ate in the tank

Respuesta :

88542
the tank ate 5.00 gallons of oil

Answer:

There are 73.38 gallons in the tank.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter of the tank is = 2.5 feet

So, the radius is = [tex]2.5/2=1.25[/tex] feet

The depth of the tank = 2 feet

The volume of the cylinder is = [tex]\pi r^{2} h[/tex]

V=[tex]3.14\times(1.25)^{2} (2)[/tex]

= 9.81 cubic feet

Now, 1 cubic feet = 7.48 gallons

So, 9.81 cubic feet = [tex]7.48\times9.81=73.38[/tex] gallons

So, there are 73.38 gallons in the tank.
