Answer:
h < 10 or (0, 10)
The problem has multiple solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
In this case we can calculate the height of the hot water tank because we know the diameter and volume. The formula is:
V = pi * (r ^ 2) * h
we solve for h:
h = V / (pi * r ^ 2)
the radius is half the diameter, that is, r = d / 2; r = 8/2 = 4
replacing:
h = 503 / (3.1413 * 4 ^ 2)
h = 10
the problem has multiple solutions since they say that it is shorter, shorter is a number less than 10.
solution: h <10 or (0, 10)
