Well, the drainage pipe is a cylinder
\n" ); document.write( "The formula for the volume of a cylinder is
\n" ); document.write( "\"V=3.14r%5E2h\"
\n" ); document.write( "If you have trouble memorizing that, there is an easier way. You can find the area of the circle, \"3.14r%5E2\" and multiply that by the height. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In this case, Height=length
\n" ); document.write( "Diameter is 2r (radius)
\n" ); document.write( "Radius is 1/2d = 12
\n" ); document.write( "\"V=3.14%2A12%5E2%2A8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"V=3.14%2A144%2A8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"V=3617.28ft%5E3\" Don't forget to label!
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
