Question

a cone - shaped oil tank has a base area of 85.7 square meters and a height of 9 meters. how much oil can the tank hold? round your answer to the nearest tenth
use the keypad to type your answer in the box provided.
the amount of oil the tank can hold is cubic meters.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the volume formula for a cone

The volume formula for a cone is \(V=\frac{1}{3}Bh\), where \(B\) is the base area and \(h\) is the height.

Step2: Substitute the given values into the formula

Given \(B = 85.7\) square meters and \(h=9\) meters. Substitute these values into the formula: \(V=\frac{1}{3}\times85.7\times9\).
First, calculate \(\frac{1}{3}\times9 = 3\). Then \(V=85.7\times3\).

Step3: Perform the multiplication

\(85.7\times3=257.1\)

Answer:

\(257.1\)
