Two water tanks are shown. Tank A is a rectangular prism and Tank B is a cylinder. The tanks are not drawn to scale. Tank A is filled with water to the 10-meter mark.
The volume of water that leaves Tank A is transferred to Tank B, the height of the water left in Tank A is 4 meters, and the height of the water in Tank B is 4.89 meters.
Find the radius of the base of Tank B. Show all calculations to justify your thinking.
