Math Problem Statement

A hot water tank is a closed cylinder. The radius of the tank is 1.5 meters and the volume of the tank is 300 liters. Find the height of the hot water tank in meters.

Solution

It looks like you're working on a problem involving the volume of a hot water tank in the shape of a cylinder. The problem is asking to find the height (h) of the cylinder given the volume and radius, with the volume provided in liters. Let's go over the details:

Step-by-Step Breakdown:

  1. Volume Formula for a Cylinder: The volume of a cylinder is given by the formula: V=πr2hV = \pi r^2 h Where:

    • VV is the volume of the cylinder
    • rr is the radius of the base
    • hh is the height of the cylinder
  2. Given Information:

    • Volume V=300litersV = 300 \, \text{liters}
    • Radius r=1.5mr = 1.5 \, \text{m} (from the diagram)
    • Note that 1m3=1000liters1 \, \text{m}^3 = 1000 \, \text{liters}, so: 300liters=0.3m3300 \, \text{liters} = 0.3 \, \text{m}^3
  3. Plug the values into the volume formula: 0.3=π(1.5)2h0.3 = \pi (1.5)^2 h Simplify the equation: 0.3=π(2.25)h0.3 = \pi (2.25) h 0.3=2.25πh0.3 = 2.25 \pi h

  4. Solve for hh: h=0.32.25πh = \frac{0.3}{2.25 \pi} Now, calculate the value of hh.
