You cant answer this unless you have proper measurements. Assuming that the pipe is a cylinder, using the equation V=(pi) r2 L
Where (pi) is 3.14159 and r is the radius of the pipe and L is the length of the pipe.
The question asks for Gallons, a unit of Volume. What is given is the length and width, used to find an area.

EzraTo find the volume of water in an 8-inch pipe that is 100 feet long, you first need to convert the dimensions to a common unit. Assuming the pipe is cylindrical, you can use the formula for the volume of a cylinder, which is πr^2h, where r is the radius of the pipe and h is the height (length). Converting the dimensions and calculating will give you the volume of water in the pipe, which can then be converted to gallons.
Assuming that the pipe is 1" in diameter on the inside (so, if it were a 1/8" thick pipe, the overall diameter would be 1.25"), then the volume would be approximately 8.16 gallons.
To get this, one would take the radius (1/2" in this case), multiply it by ∏, according to the formula Area of a circle = ∏r2. Take this and multiply it by 1200" (100'). This would be your volume in cubic inches. To go from there to gallons, use the conversion of 1gal = 231 cubic inches.
This will result in approximately 8.16 gallons.
1 gallon = 231 cubic inches
1 foot = 12 inches
100 feet = 1,200 inches
Volume of a cylinder = (pi) (Radius)2 (length)
Radius = 1/2 of diameter = 1/4 inch
Volume = (pi) (0.25)2 (1,200) = 235.62 cubic inches = 1.02 gallon (rounded)
That's the volume of the pipe. We have no way of knowing how much water
is in it. It could even be empty.

How many gallons of water in a 60 inch pipe ten feet long?
This pipe will hold 1,468.8 gallons of water.
1000 feet of 2 inch water line equals how many gallons?
To convert feet of water line to gallons, you need the volume of the water line. The volume of a 2-inch diameter water line is about 0.0107 gallons per foot. So, 1000 feet of 2-inch water line would be approximately 10.7 gallons.
How many gallons of water is in a 2.5 inch fire hose fifty feet long?
A 2.5 inch fire hose has a capacity of approximately 60 gallons per 100 ft. Therefore, a 50 ft hose would hold around 30 gallons of water.
How many gallons of water in a one and one half inch pipe that is 10 feet long?
A 1.5 inch (diameter) pipe that is 10 feet long can hold approximately 3.32 gallons of water. This calculation is based on the volume of a cylindrical pipe.
How many gallons of water are in a pool that measures 12 feet wide 23 feet long and 4 feet deep?
The pool holds approximately 10,560 gallons of water.
