How to Figure the Volume of a Cylinder /Tank c = Circumference or the number of feet measured around the outside of the Tank. d = Diameter or a straight line through the center of a circle. r = Radius or half of the Diameter Pi = π or a number equal to 3. 142 h = Height
How to Figure the Volume of a Cylinder /Tank STEP ONE Measure the feet around the outside of the Tank to get the Circumference. c = 63 ft Circumference
How to Figure the Volume of a Cylinder /Tank Diameter STEP TWO Use the formula d= c/π to find Diameter of the Tank. d = 20 ft Circumference
How to Figure the Volume of a Cylinder /Tank Diameter STEP THREE To find the Radius, divide the Diameter of the Tank by 2. (Radius is one-half of Diameter) r = 20 /2 r = 10 Radius Circumference
How to Figure the Volume of a Cylinder /Tank Diameter STEP FOUR Measure the Height of the Tank c = 63 ft d = 20 ft r = 10 ft h = 24 ft Height Radius Circumference
How to Figure the Volume of a Cylinder /Tank STEP FIVE Figure the area of the base or the end of the Tank c = 63 ft d = 20 ft r = 10 ft h = 24 ft Diameter Height Area = π × r² Volume = π × r² × h or πr²h Volume in cubic feet 3. 142 × 100 × 24 Volume = 7540 ft³ Radius Circumference
How to Figure the Volume of a Cylinder /Tank Diameter STEP SIX Area = π × r² Volume = π × r² × h or πr²h Volume in cubic feet 3. 142 × 100 × 24 Volume = 7540 ft³ Height 1 ft³ = 7. 48 gallons 42 gallons = 1 Barrel So then, 7540 × 7. 48 = 56, 399 gals 56399 ÷ 42 = 1343 bls Radius V = 1, 343 Barrels Circumference
