To answer this question, you can calculate the volume of the cylinder in cubic inches, then use the fact that a gallon is 231 cubic inches to convert to gallons. Cylinder volume is the cylinder base area (the circle that is 12 inches in diameter) times the height. Cylinder base area: 12 inch diameter, using pi x r2 = 3.14159 x 62 = 113 in2. Cylinder volume: 113 in2 x 10 ft x 12 in/ft = 13560 in3. Conversion to gallons: 13560 in3 (divided by) 231 in3/gallon = 58.7 gallons.
