The formula for the volume of a cylinder ("circular basin") is V=[pi]*r2*h, where r is the radius and h is the height ("depth") of the cylinder.

Since the volume is provided in gallons and the diameter will be expressed in feet, it is first necessary to convert the gallon amount to cubic feet. There are about 7.481 gallons in a cubic foot, so the conversion is done by dividing 147,000 by 7.481, yielding an answer of 19,649.779 cubic feet.

The formula may now be expressed as: 19,649.779 cu. ft. = 3.141*r2*10 ft.

Solving for r yields a value of approximately 25.012 ft.

Diameter is twice the radius, so approximately 50 ft.

Check the answer:

V=3.141*25.012 ft.2*10 ft.

V=19,650.1 cu. ft. * 7.481 = 147,002 gallons (allowing for rounding)

What king in the bible used a circular basin?

In the King James version the word - basin - does not appear at all. the word - circular - does not appear at all. and, although the word - bowl - appears 17 times, it is never described as circular, nor even round. However, pottery basins and bowls are always round - even in biblical times.


Is the south pole-aitken basin the largest and deepest depression found thus far in the solar system?

South Pole Aitken Basin (diameter 2500km) is not the largest known impact crater. That distinction lies with Utopia Planitia Basin (3500km) on Mars. However, SPA is the deepest known impact basin in the Solar System at 13 kilometers. If proven, the hypothesized Borealis basin, on Mars, would be the largest impact basis, at more than 10000 km in diameter.
