A cylindrical tank with height 5 m and radius 1 m has a volume of?

To determine the volume of a cylindrical tank, you can use the formula:

Volume = π × r² × h

Where:

• π (pi) is approximately 3.14,

• r is the radius of the base of the cylinder, and

• h is the height of the cylinder.

In this case, the radius (r) is 1 m and the height (h) is 5 m. Plugging these values into the formula provides the following calculation:

1. Calculate the area of the base (the circular cross-section):

Area = π × (1 m)² = π × 1 = π ≈ 3.14 m²

2. Multiply the area of the base by the height to find the volume:

Volume = π × 1² × 5 = π × 5 m³ ≈ 3.14 × 5 = 15.7 m³

This calculation confirms that the volume of the cylindrical tank is approximately 15.7 cubic meters, which corresponds with the second option being correct. The other options, while derived from similar calculations, do not align with the parameters given for the tank's dimensions and the formula used for volume, making them inherently incorrect in
