I am a farmer who loved Geometry while I was in High School, however that was years ago and I now have a question.
I have a tank that is in the shape of a cylinder which is lying down. If the tank has a diameter of 10 feet and a length of 23 feet, how many cubic feet are being used if the depth of the liquid inside the tank measures 2 feet.
If the tank was standing, this would be easy, but it's not. Is there a specific formula to figure a partially-filled cylinder?
