Walter, ...7.92 inches inside diameter ... Ugh! Who made _that_ one up? Let's stick to one system of units. 1 inch = 2.54 cm [type "inch" into Google to get this if you don't know it] so 7.92 in. is how many cm?________________ Volume of a cylinder = length x area so we need to know area. Area = π r2 (you knew, right) so we need to know radius radius = diameter/2 = how many centimeters? __________ Now find the area ________________ and multiply by length ...and 22 km. long... There are 100 cm in a meter and 1000 m in a km so length in cm is ____________________ Multiply and get volume in cubic cm.___________ Now convert back [go to Google to find how many liters in a cubic foot; a liter is a thousand cubic centimeters.] And your answer ....in cubic feet of water _____________________ -RD
Walter, After you have completed the steps outlined above not before you can check your answer using our volume calculator. Harley | ||||||||||||
