A cylindrical fuel tank is 1.25 meters high and has
a radius of 0.60 meter. If the tank can only be
filled to an 85% capacity to allow for expansion
of the fuel, what is the maximum volume of fuel?


Sagot :

Answer:

The maximum volume of the fuel is:

[tex]V_{fuel}=1.20 \: m^{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the cylinder is given by:

[tex]V=\pi r^{2}h[/tex]

[tex]V=\pi (0.6^{2})(1.25)[/tex]

[tex]V=1.41 \: m^{3}[/tex]

If the tank can be filled to 85% of its capacity, the maximum volume of the fuel will be:

[tex]V_{fuel}=1.41*(\frac{85}{100})[/tex]

[tex]V_{fuel}=1.20 \: m^{3}[/tex]

I hope it helps you!
