I think it has to do with preassure on the pipes.

campbell_st · Answer

use the circumference information and the formula for circumference of a circle to find the radius. 

when you have that you can find the volume of the pipe

I wasn't asking for the answer(:
V= 3.14 * r ^2 * h
And I know C= 2 * 3.14 * r
But I don't know how to go about this

anonymous · Answer

Do I use the 6 foot height and solve from there, and the circumference and solve from there, and use the information together?

campbell_st · Answer

and you also know C = 37.68

campbell_st · Answer

the process is find the radius 1st... before doing anything with volume

campbell_st · Answer

well you know 

$$37.68 = 2 \times \pi \times r$$

solve for r.
