Q. A cylinder has a radius of 18in. and a height of 48in. If there are approximately 225cubic inches in one gallon, how many gallons will the cylinder hold?
Calculate Volume: Calculate the volume of the cylinder using the formula for the volume of a cylinder, which is V=πr2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.
Convert to Gallons: Convert the volume from cubic inches to gallons using the conversion factor given in the problem, which is approximately 225 cubic inches in one gallon.
Perform Division: Perform the division to find the number of gallons the cylinder can hold.
