we're doing volumes and stuff
I believe that a conical reservoir looks like this:
0--------
0/000000\0
/00000000
--------------
don't you have to know how to find the bottom radius in order to solve this problem (and i can't do that)?
thanks
A conical reservoir has a depth of 24 feet and a circular top of radius 12 feet. It is filled so that the depth of water is increasing at a constant rate of 4 feet per hour. Determine the rate in cubic feet per hour at which the water is entering the reservoir when the depth is 5 feet.
