Answer: 1846.32 cubic feet

==================================================

Work Shown:

V = pi*r^2*h is the volume of any cylinder with radius r, height h

r = 7, h = 12

Plugging those values in gets us this

V = pi*7^2*12

V = pi*49*12

V = pi*588

V = 588*pi

We will use 3.14 for pi, so we replace pi with this value

V = 588*3.14

V = 1846.32

The units for the volume are in cubic feet. We can abbreviate this to ft^3.
