If I have a cylinder of 8ft in diameter and 10ft tall, how many gallons would it hold?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
d = 8 ft the diameter of the cylinder
h = 10 ft the height of the cylinder
V = (d/2)^2 pi h
V = (8/2)^2 * pi * 10
V = 502.4 ft^3
1 ft^3 = 7.48 gal
V = 502.4 ft^3 = 502.4*7.48 = 3,757.95 gal
the cylinder would hold 3,757.95 gallons.
