Hi,

Okay, so I'm pretty bad at math, and I don't remember much of it from high school. How many fluid ounces would you estimate a cylinder 3" diameter by 9" long will hold?

Lil' help would be appreciated from a math dummy....

Radius squared x PI(3.14 x L or 1.5 x 1.5 (2.25) x 3.14 x 9 = 63.62, 63.62 x .55 (ox/cu.in) = 35.25oz

35oz

That's a lot easier if you convert to metric. Volume = height in mm x area of base (3.14 x radius in mm squared) and 1000 cubic millimeters = 1000 milliliters so once you get the volume in mm^3 it's the same as the liquid volume in ml. Then just convert your ml back to fl oz. There's a nice little metric/imperial converter at http://www.sciencemadesimple.com/conversions.html
