Question from Peter: If a lake is 8 acres in size and 10 feet deep how many gallons of water does it contain |
Hi Peter,
There are 43560 square feet in an acre so multiplying 43560 by 10 gives you the volume on cubic feet. I typed one gallon in cubic feet into Google and got the response 1 US gallon = 0.133681 cubic feet. You can do the arithmetic to get the answer to your question or you can use our volume calculator.
