Answer:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The volume of a cylinder is calculated by the following formula:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Volume of cylinder = (pi)*(r^2)*height\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Also we know that,
\n" ); document.write( "Diameter = Twice the radius, here the diameter is 12 ft.
\n" ); document.write( "D = 2r
\n" ); document.write( "12 = 2(r)
\n" ); document.write( "12/2 = r = 6
\n" ); document.write( "radius of cylinder = 6 ft
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Volume of cylinder = (22/7)*(6^2)*35
\n" ); document.write( "Volume of cylinder = 3960 ft^3\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "As 1 cubic foot = 7.48 gallons
\n" ); document.write( "Explanation:
\n" ); document.write( "There are 231 cubic inches in one US gallon. Since a cubic foot is 12 by 12 by 12 inches, a cubic foot has 1728 cubic inches. Thus one cubic foot = 1728 cubic inches = (1728/231) gallons = 7.48 gallons.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Thus Volume of Cylinder in gallons = 29620.8 gallons
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore to the nearest whole number Cylinder can hold 29621 gallons of water.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
