3.14* diameter*Depth * 7.48 = gallons (diameter and depth in feet)

3,14*diameter gives you the circumference of the circle. When multiplied
by the depth, it gives you the surface area of the right circular
cylinder, not its volume.

Okay.... your explanation either went over my head or I didn't understand
the symbols used. Can you put it in a more simple form perhaps? Tx, ~ jan

OK, Jan. The circumference is the distance around the circle. Say you have
a round pond that's ten foot across. You'll need 31.4 feet of edging
stones. Say it's ten feet deep and you want to tile the side. You'll need
314 sq. ft. of tile.

It would hold 3.14*5*5*10*7.48= 5872 gallons.
