\n" ); document.write( "Consider the circular cross section of the cylinder with center O and the level of the water indicated by segment AB. Let P be on AB such that OP is perpendicular to AB.

\n" ); document.write( "Because OP=3 and the radius of the cylinder is 6, triangle AOB is composed of two congruent 30-60-90 right triangles.

\n" ); document.write( "Find the area of the cross section of the water as
\n" ); document.write( "(1) total area of the circular cross section; minus
\n" ); document.write( "(2) the area of the sector AOB; plus
\n" ); document.write( "(3) the area of triangle AOB

\n" ); document.write( "Then multiply that area by the 24-inch length of the cylinder to get the volume of water.
