Question 847986: A cylindrical gasoline tank 18 feet long has a radius of 60 inches. The tank is positioned horizontally to the ground. Find the number of GALLONS of gasoline in the tank if it is filled to a depth of 16 inches.
(Note, the cylinder is on its side, so the question is not just a simple equation of 16/60 of the cylinder's total volume, else I would not require assistance.)

there are 231 cubic inches in a gallon
volume of tank filled to 16 inches is
(1/2) * pi * 16^2 * 18 * 12 = 86858.75 cubic inches
86858.75 / 231 = 376.01 gallons
