You would first find the volume of the entire cooler and then divide by 2...

$\huge{V=\frac{ \pi r^{2}h}{2}}$ So we input what we know...

$\huge\color{purple}{V=\frac{ 3.14(6^{2})15}{2}}$ We have $\large{6}$ as the radius because that is half of $\large{12}$...

So we simplify to find the volume of the liquid....
