Solution:
1. Given:
* Height, h = 23 feet
* Radius, r = 6.25 feet
2. Formula for the volume of a cylinder:
V = \pi r^2 h
3. Substitute the given values into the formula:
V = \pi \times (6.25)^2 \times 23
4. Calculate (6.25)^2:
* (6.25)^2 = 39.0625
5. Substitute back into the volume formula:
V = \pi \times 39.0625 \times 23
6. Calculate 39.0625 \times 23:
* 39.0625 \times 23 = 898.4375
7. Multiply by \pi (approximately 3.14159:
V = 3.14159 \times 898.4375
8. Calculate the volume V:
* V \approx 2823.6363
9. Round the answer to the nearest cubic foot:
* The volume of the cylindrical tank is approximately 2824 cubic feet.
