You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The volume of a cylinder is Pi%2A%28r%5E2%29+h where r is the radius and+h is the height.
You are given:
h+=35+ft
d+=12+ft ….. diameter+=+2r…=>….r=d%2F2=12ft%2F2=6ft
The volume V of a cylinder is Pi%2A+%28r%5E2%29+h
Find a V:
V+=+Pi%2A+%28r%5E2+%29h+
V+=+Pi%2A+%28r%5E2%29+h+
V+=+3.14%286ft%29%5E2+%2835+ft%29+
V+=+3.14%2A36ft%5E2+%2A35+ft
V+=+113.04ft%5E2+%2A35+ft
V+=+3956.4ft%5E3
Since one cubic foot is 7.48 gallons, we will have:
3956.4%2F7.48=528.93+...gallons
