Question

a company rents water tanks shaped like cylinders. each tank has a radius of 6 feet and a height of 4 feet. the cost is $2 per cubic foot. how much does it cost to rent one water tank? use 3.14 for π, and do not round your answer.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the volume of the cylinder

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is \(V=\pi r^{2}h\). Given \(r = 6\) feet, \(h=4\) feet, and \(\pi = 3.14\).

Step2: Calculate the cost

The cost is \(\$2\) per cubic - foot. So, the total cost \(C=2\times V\).
Since \(V = 452.16\) cubic feet, then \(C=2\times452.16=\$904.32\)

Answer:

\(904.32\)
