Answer:

32 cubic feet

Explanation:

The formula for a cylinder is
$\pi r^(2) h$ .

The radius of the cylinder is equal to 1.5 feet, since it is
(diameter)/(2) .

Plugging in, the cylinder's full volume is
$6\pi 1.5^2$ which is approximately 42.4 cubic feet.

To find the amount of water when it is 3/4 full, multiply 42.4 x .75, to get around 31.8, and 32 when rounded
