A cylindrical tank is half-full of oil.
The cylinder has a base radius of 100cm. The height of the cylinder is 250cm.
1 litre= 1000cm^3
How many litres of oil are in a tank?
Round your answer to the nearest litre.

3927 litres of oil to the nearest litre.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the cylinder = π r^2 h

= π * 100^2 * 250.

When half full the volume is  

1/2 * π  * 100^2 * 250

=  3926991 cm^3     Dividing this by 1000:

= 3927 litres.

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
