Thanks

thank you all for your responses. I'm going to give Best to the 1st answerer.
Reason: looks like vj was off a couple hundred gallons. you other 2 have top contributor status so let's get her closer to that staus. If I could I would give you all points.
Thanks a lot all.

v=pi*r^2*h=3.14*81*4=1017.36 cubic feet
1 cubic foot = 7.48051945 US gallons
multiply them together to get 7610 gallons

volume cylinder = area base * height = pi * r^2 * h = pi*(9^2) * 4 = 324 pi cubic feet = 1018 cu ft.

1 cu ft is 7.48 US gallons (Imperial gallon is 25% larger.)

7614 US gallons

V = pi*r^2 * h
V = pi*9^2 * 4
V = 324pi

use a conversion table between ft^3 and gallons.

depth of cylinder = 4 ft = 48 inches = 48x 2.54 cm= 121.92 cm
radius of cylinder = 9 ft = 108 inches = 108 x 2.54 cm =274.32 cm
Vol of cylinder = π r^2h = 3.14(274.32cm)^2 (121.92 cm)
= 28389887.98 cm^3
= 28389.88L
= 28389.88L/4.546 L per gallon
= 6245.02 gallons (Answer)
This answer is in Imperial gallons.
Answer in US gallons = 28389.88/3.8 L
= 7471.02 US gallons (Answer)
