A conical pile of gravel 2010-04-13

The gravel pile is 120' around at the base and goes up 20' high at the peak. How many tons or yards of gravel in that pile?

A gravel pile in my driveway 2009-05-13
From Dean:
The only place I have to deliver gravel is in my driveway. The driveway is 16 ft wide by 18 ft long. How much gravel can I order as to not exceed the boundaries of my driveway when the truck dumps the gravel onto my driveway? I am assuming the angle of repose comes into play when calculating this elliptical pile? The maximum amount of gravel I need is 12 cubic yards.
