a gas tank has a height of 8 feet and a width of 6 feet what is the volume in cubic feet using 3.14 for pi
The volume of a cylinder (which is the shape of a gas tank) is calculated using the formula V = πr^2h, where r is the radius of the base of the cylinder and h is the height.
Given that the width (diameter) of the gas tank is 6 feet, the radius (r) is half of that, so r = 3 feet.
Plugging the values into the formula:
V = 3.14 x (3)^2 x 8
V = 3.14 x 9 x 8
V = 226.08 cubic feet
Therefore, the volume of the gas tank is 226.08 cubic feet.
