Volume

Volume simply the amount of space enclosed within a container.

The volume of a cylinder can be expressed as;

V = πr²h

Where r is the radius of the base of the cylinder, h is its height and π is pi ( π = 3.14)

Given the data in the question;

  • Height of the cylinder h = 6ft
  • Radius r = 4ft
  • Volume of the cylinder V = ?

To determine the closest to the amount of fuel the tank can hold, we substitute our given values into the expression above.

V = πr²h

V = 3.14 × (4ft)² × 6ft

V = 3.14 × 16ft² × 6ft

V = 301.44ft³

V = 301 ft³

Option C) 301 ft³ is the correct answer.

Hence, the closest to the amount of fuel the cylindrical tank can hold is 301 ft³.
