A company rents water tanks shaped like cylinders. Each tank has a diameter of 8 feet and a height of 3 feet. The cost is $5 per cubic foot. How much does it cost to rent one water tank?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$754.05

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the volume of one tank and multiply it by the cost of renting the tank per cubic foot.

The volume of a cylinder is:

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

where r = radius

h = height

Each tank has a diameter of 8 feet (radius = 4 feet) and a height of 3 feet.

The volume of the tank is therefore:

[tex]V = \pi * 4^2 * 3 = 150.81 ft^3[/tex]

The cost of renting is $5 per cubic foot.

Therefore, the cost of renting a tank is:

150.81 * 5 = $754.05

It costs $754.05 to rent a tank.
