  1. Find the volume of a warehouse that is 12 ft. high, 85 ft. long and 35 ft. wide.

Volume =                                                                                                                    ft.3

  1. Find the volume of a 12-ft. high tank having a diameter of 6 ft.

Volume =                                                                                                                    ft.3

  1. Find the volume of a [latex]9 \text{ m} \times 3.9 \text{ m} \times 4.1 \text{ m}[/latex] storage shed.

Volume =                                                                                                                    m3

  1. What is the volume of a glycol storage tank that is 3.8 m long and 2.7 m in diameter?

Volume =                                                                                                                    m3

  1. How many cubic metres of earth would be required to backfill a trench 32 m long, 1.7 m wide and 1.5 m deep?

Volume =                                                                                                                    m3

  1. How many cubic feet of earth would be removed to create a trench 85′ long, 5′ wide and 5′ deep?

Volume =                                                                                                                    ft.3

  1. If the volume of a holding tank is 864 ft.3 and the height is 9 ft., find the diameter, to the nearest foot.

Diameter =                                                                                                                    ft.

  1. If the volume is 22,372.5 in.3 and the radius is 25 in., find the height, to the nearest inch.

Height =                                                                                                                    in.
