Answer:
The cylindrical tank can hold 9.7 cubic meter more water than the rectangular prism shape tank .
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that
Diameter of cylinderical water tank, d=4 m
Radius of cylinderical water tank,r=d/2=4/2=2 m
Height of cylinderical water tank,h=3 m
Length of rectangular prism, l=7 m
Width of rectangular prism ,w=2 m
Height of rectangular prism, h=2m
Volume of cylinder=[tex]\pi r^2 h[/tex]
Where [tex]\pi=3.14[/tex]
Using the formula
Volume of cylinderical tank=[tex]3.14(2)^2\times 3=37.7m^3[/tex]
Volume of rectangular prism=[tex]lwh[/tex]
Using the formula
Volume of rectangular prism=[tex]7\times 2\times =28m^3[/tex]
Difference between volumes=37.7-28=9.7 cubic meters
Hence, the cylindrical tank can hold 9.7 cubic meter more water than the rectangular prism shape tank .
