You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the formula for volume of a cylinder is:
V=pi+%2A+r%5E2+%2A+h
the radius in this problem is 2in (this is found by dividing the diameter by 2)
plug that into the equation:
V=3.14+%2A%282in%29%5E2+%2A+12in
V=3.14+%2A4in%5E2+%2A+12in
V=3.14+%2A48in%5E3
V=150.72in%5E3

to find how many fluid ounces you use the information:
1in%5E3+=+0.554112545915oz
and you get:
V=150.72%2A0.554112545915oz
V=83.5158429203088oz
V=83.5oz
