You can put this solution on YOUR website!
diamter (d) = 14 inches
radius (r) = d/2 = 14/2 = 7 inches
height (h)= 6 inches
capacity of the tank = volume of the tank
volume of cylinder (tank) = pi*r^2*h
capacity of the tank (V) = pi*7^2*6
(pi=22/7 = 3.14)
V=+%2822%2F7%29+%2A49%2A6
V=+22%2A7%2A6
V= 924 cubic inches'
one gallon equals 231 cubie inches
hence capacity of tank in gallons = 924/231
=4
Result : Capacity = 4 gallons
