A water storage tank has the shape of a cylinder with diameter 14 ft. It is mounted so that the circular cross-sections are vertical. If the depth of the water is 12 ft, what percentage of the total capacity is being used

Respuesta :

Answer:

"85.7%" is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question,

The total capacity of water tank will be:

⇒ [tex]v_1=A\times 14[/tex]

The total volume of water will be:

⇒ [tex]v_2=A\times 12[/tex]

Now,

The percentage of total capacity will be:

= [tex]\frac{100\times v_2}{v_1}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{v_2}{v_1}\times 100[/tex]

By putting the values, we get

= [tex]\frac{A\times 12}{A\times 14}\times 100[/tex]

= [tex]85.7[/tex]%
