What is the volume of a cylindrical fuel tank with a diameter of 2 m and a height of 10 m?

To determine the volume of a cylindrical fuel tank, you can use the formula for the volume of a cylinder, which is given by:

[ V = \pi r^2 h ]

Where:

• ( V ) is the volume

• ( r ) is the radius of the cylinder

• ( h ) is the height of the cylinder

• ( \pi ) is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14159.

In this case, the diameter of the tank is 2 meters, which means the radius ( r ) is half of the diameter:

[ r = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{2 , \text{m}}{2} = 1 , \text{m} ]

The height ( h ) of the tank is given as 10 meters.

Now, substituting the values into the volume formula:

[ V = \pi (1 , \text{m})^2 (10 , \text{m}) ]

[ V = \pi (1)(10) ]

[ V = 10 \pi ]

Next, using the approximation for ( \pi ):

[ V \approx 10 \
