Algebra.Com's Answer #66787 by zerosignal(28)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! To find the capacity in gallons, you first must find the volume of the cylindrical tank by using the following formula: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "where \"d\" equals the tank diameter, and \"h\" equals the height.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In order to use the formula properly, convert both the diameter and height into inches so you are working with the same units.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "8 feet 8 inches = 104 inches (\"d\") \n" ); document.write( "12 feet = 144 inches (\"h\")\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "substitute these values into the formula:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Next, convert to gallons: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, |
