First let us make all the units constant. I am going to convert all the units into inches.
Therefore, the dimensions of the cylinder are:
Diameter = 4 inches
Length = 1 foot = 12 inches
Let's find its volume now:
Volume = base area x height
Base Area = pi x r2
= 3.14 x (4/2)2
= 3.14 x 22
= 3.14 x 4
= 12.56 inch2
Volume = 12.56 x 12
= 150.72 inch3
This is the volume in cubic inches. To find the volume in gallons, divide this answer by 231.
Volume in gallons = 150.72/231
= 0.65 gallons
Therefore, there are 0.65 gallons of water in the cylinder.
Therefore, the dimensions of the cylinder are:
Diameter = 4 inches
Length = 1 foot = 12 inches
Let's find its volume now:
Volume = base area x height
Base Area = pi x r2
= 3.14 x (4/2)2
= 3.14 x 22
= 3.14 x 4
= 12.56 inch2
Volume = 12.56 x 12
= 150.72 inch3
This is the volume in cubic inches. To find the volume in gallons, divide this answer by 231.
Volume in gallons = 150.72/231
= 0.65 gallons
Therefore, there are 0.65 gallons of water in the cylinder.
