I need help with this math problem?

The cylindrical Giant Ocean

Tank at the New England Aquarium in Boston

has a volume of 200,000 gallons.

a. One gallon of water equals 231 cubic

inches. How many cubic inches of water

are in the Giant Ocean Tank?

b. Use your answer from part a as the volume. The tank is 24 ft deep.

Find the radius in feet of the Giant Ocean Tank.I need help with this math problem?
a) 200000*231 = 46200000 cubic inches

b) R = 鈭歔462000/(1728*24*蟺] 鈮?18.83 feet

1728 is the number of cubic inches in a cubic foot. To get depth in feet, the inches dimensions have to be converted to feet.
