Assume that when you take a bath, you fill a tub to the halfway point. The tub measures 5 feet by 3 feet by 2.8 feet. When you

Answer:
option C.
Yes, the water tank is about 245 cubic feet too small
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Determine the volume of the cylindrical tank
we know that
The volume of a cylinder is equal to
Remember that
we have
assume
substitute
Compare with 251 cubic feet
therefore
Yes, the water tank is about 245 cubic feet too small
The distance between an arbitrary point on the surface and the origin is
Recall that for differentiable functions
and 
, the composition 
attains extrema at the same points that does, so we can consider an augmented distance function
The Lagrangian would then be
We have partial derivatives
Set each partial derivative to 0 and solve the system to find the critical points.
From the second equation it follows that either
or 
. In the first case we arrive at a contradiction (I'll leave establishing that to you). If , then we have
This means
so that the points on the surface closest to the origin are
.
