The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V = pi * r^2 * h, where:
\n" ); document.write( "V is the volume
\n" ); document.write( "r is the radius of the base
\n" ); document.write( "h is the height.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You know the circumference of the base.
\n" ); document.write( "From that, you can derive the radius as follows:
\n" ); document.write( "C = 2 * pi * r, where:
\n" ); document.write( "C = circumference
\n" ); document.write( "r = radius
\n" ); document.write( "Replace C in this formula with 23 inches and you get:
\n" ); document.write( "23 = 2 * pi * r
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides of this equation by 2*pi and you get:
\n" ); document.write( "23 / (2*pi) = r
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for r to get:
\n" ); document.write( "r = 3.660563691.
\n" ); document.write( "That's your radius.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now go back to your volume formula of V = pi*r^2*h
\n" ); document.write( "You have:
\n" ); document.write( "r = 3.660563691 and you have h = 12
\n" ); document.write( "You can replace these values in the formula to get:
\n" ); document.write( "V = pi * (3.660563691)^2 * 12.
\n" ); document.write( "This gets you:
\n" ); document.write( "V = 505.1577894 cubic inches.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You can translate this to quarts or pints or cups by using the translation formulas that are available.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "505.1577894 cubic inches is equal to:
\n" ); document.write( "2.1868302571429 gallons
\n" ); document.write( "8.7473210285714 quarts
\n" ); document.write( "17.494642057143 pints
\n" ); document.write( "34.989284114286 cups
\n" ); document.write( "279.91427291429 ounces\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You would obviously want to round this off to the nearest unit to get a rough measure.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Those rough measures would be:
\n" ); document.write( "approximately 2 gallons
\n" ); document.write( "approximately 9 quarts
\n" ); document.write( "approximately 17 pints
\n" ); document.write( "approximately 35 cups
\n" ); document.write( "approximately 280 ounces\r
\n" ); document.write( "
