Volume of Storage Tank

Emma needs to order liquid fertilizer for her landscaping company. She plans to keep the fertilizer in a large cylindrical storage tank, but isn’t sure how much it will hold. The tank is 10 feet tall and the circular base has a radius of 5 feet. What is the volume of her storage tank?


Let me see.


I found the volume of a cylinder formula online to be V = pi•r^2• h, where r = radius and h = height.


V = pi(5)^2(10)


V = pi(25)(10)


V = 250pi (feet)^3


You say?

It's good to see that I am at least able to answer GED math problems correctly.
