Question 132916: I bought a big cylindrical gas tank. I was told it was 550 gallons. I actually confirmed this by converting all units to metric and solving for V = pi r^2 h. Unfortunately, my trig and calc lessons are long forgotten, so i need a little help.
I need to know the volume of the fuel in it by dipping the tank with a rudimentary dip stick. The dip stick has inches as units. The internal size of the tank is 60.325cm in diameter and 181.61cm in length. The tank lays on its side with the 181.61cm side flat on the ground and the filler/dipping access on the top exactly opposite.
Could you provide a formula that would create a graph with inches on the vetical scale and gallons on the lateral scale?
