Answer:

6075π ft^3

Explanation:

The formula for a cylinder is πr^2 * h

were:

h = height

and r = radius

and because the radius is always 1/2 of the diameter, the radius is 22.5.

So now we plug everything in:

π*22.5^2 * 12

= π*506.25 * 12 =

π * 6075 =

6075π

please don't forget to add the units.
