If the oil is barely visible it would take something like 25 gallons to cover one square mile. If the appearance of the oil is of bright bands of colour, then 200 gallons per square mile. Thick oil spills amount to 1330 gallons per square mile

How big a area will one gallon of interior latex paint cover?

1 gallon per 400 square feet. However, this will depend on how rough the surface is and how different the current area to be covered is. If it's a smooth surface and you're painting a similar color, 1 gallon should cover 400 sq. feet. But if it's a rough surface or hard color to cover, then 200 sq. feet per gallon.

What is the surface area of a 55 gallon drum in square inches?

To calculate the surface area of a 55-gallon drum, we first need to determine the dimensions of the drum. A standard 55-gallon drum typically has a diameter of 22.5 inches and a height of 33.5 inches. The surface area of a cylinder can be calculated using the formula 2πr² + 2πrh, where r is the radius and h is the height of the cylinder. Plugging in the values for the radius and height of the drum, we can calculate the surface area in square inches.
