Emma needs to order liquid fertilizer for her landscaping company. She plans to keep the fertilizer in a large cylindrical storage tank, but isn’t sure how much it will hold. The tank is 10 feet tall and the circular base has a radius of 5 feet. What is the volume of her storage tank?

Explanation

In cases where you are unsure of the correct formula to use, be sure to check the formula sheet that is provided for GED math questions. The formula for a cylinder is one of the provided formulas:

\(\begin{aligned} & V=\pi r^2 h \\ & V=\pi \times (5)^2 \times 10 \\ & V=250 \pi \end{aligned}\)

Recall that π (pi) is approximately equal to 3.14:

\(250 \times 3.14=785\)
