The volume is 69.115 cubic feet.
Total surface area = 2*pi*r*(r + h) where r is the base radius and h the height.
A 55 gallon drum is just a cylinder and, as such, the volume can be determined by the formula ¶r2h (Pi times radius squared times height). According to Wikipedia, standard 55 gallon drums are 22.5 inches in diameter and 33.5 inches high. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/55_gallon_drum The equation is thus 3.14 * 11.25^2 * 33.5. That comes out to 13313 cubic inches or 7.7 cubic feet.
The formula for the volume of a cylinder is: V = r2 x Pi x heightWith a diameter of 55 feet, the radius is 55/2 = 27.5 feet. Using 3.14 for Pi in the equation we get this:V = 27.52 x 3.14 x 120 756.25 x 3.14 x 120 = volume of 284,955 cubic feet.
we need 3 measurements for a volume !
The volume of a cylinder is (pi) (radius)2 (length)Radius = 1/2 diameter.1 foot = 12 inches16 feet = 192 inches1 gallon = 231 cubic inchesVolume of this tank = (pi) (27.5)2 (192) = 456,159.3 cubic inches = 1,974.72 gallons
you cant answer this wuestion because in order to answer it, you need to find the volume in thte cintainer. the formula for finding the volume it length x width x height. you just have the width and height.
55 gallons
The diameter of a circle is twice the length of the radius.So the radius is 55 hundredths x 2 = 110 hundredths = 1.1
if this is a cylinder, then the formula is: (pi)r^(2)*h. so you have 3.14*55^2*40= 380132.7111 approx.
55*55*55 = 166,375 cu ft
Radius is found out by dividing the diameter by 2 . The radius of a circle with a diameter of 55 cm is 27.5 cm
V=(πD2/4)h where D is the diameter of the 55 gallon drum and h is the height of the oil. Or if you prefer V=(2πr2h where r is the radius of the drum and h is as above.
