Use volume formulas for cylinders, pyramids, cones, and spheres to solve problems.
Solve a real-world capacity problem using volume
Problem
A cylindrical tank has radius \(2~m\) and height \(5~m\). Find its capacity in cubic meters.
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
Capacity is a volume question, so the container’s interior shape determines the model. We’ll treat the tank as a cylinder, build its circular base area from the radius, extend that area through the height, and interpret the dimensions carefully so the capacity is reported in cubic rather than square meters.
