The smaller tank in the photograph has a capacity of 1400 m3 and the larger tank has a capacity of 4725 m3 . a) During the refining process, both tanks are filled with oil from a pumping station at the same rate. How many times longer will it take to fill the larger tank than it will take to fill the smaller tank? b) How many times greater is the radius of the larger tank than the radius of the smaller tank?
Cylinders
A cylinder is a three-dimensional solid shape with two parallel and congruent circular bases, joined by a curved surface at a fixed distance. A cylinder has an infinite curvilinear surface.
Cones
A cone is a three-dimensional solid shape having a flat base and a pointed edge at the top. The flat base of the cone tapers smoothly to form the pointed edge known as the apex. The flat base of the cone can either be circular or elliptical. A cone is drawn by joining the apex to all points on the base, using segments, lines, or half-lines, provided that the apex and the base both are in different planes.
