To calculate the volume of a cylindrical tank, we need to use the formula:
Volume = π * (radius)^2 * height
Given that the diameter of the tank is 10 meters, we can find the radius by dividing the diameter by 2:
Radius = diameter / 2 = 10 m / 2 = 5 m
Now, we can calculate the volume using the formula:
Volume = π * (5 m)^2 * 15 m
Volume = 3.14 * (5 m)^2 * 15 m
Volume ≈ 3.14 * 25 m^2 * 15 m
Volume ≈ 3.14 * 375 m^3
Volume ≈ 1177.5 m^3
Therefore, the volume of the cylindrical tank is approximately 1177.5 cubic meters
