Part A.

To determine the volume of the barrel we use the formula for the volume of a cylinder:


V=r^2\pi h,

where r is the radius of the base of the cylinder and h is its height.

For the barrel:


\begin{gathered} h=27\text{ in, } \\ r=\frac{25\text{ in}}{2}=12.5in. \end{gathered}

Substituting the above values in the formula, we get:


V=13246.875in^3.

Answer part A:


V=13,246.875\imaginaryI n^3

Part B.

Recall that:


1\text{ gallon=231in}^3.

Answer part B: There are 231 cubic inches in 1 gallon.

Part C.

Diagram:

The barrel can contain 57 gallons of water, if it is at 2/3 of its capacity then there are


57gallons*(2)/(3)=38\text{ gallons}

of water inside the barrel.

Answer part C:


38\text{ gallons.}
