Pot Volume Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Pot Volume.
PV = 3.14159*R^2*H / 281
- Where PV is the Pot Volume (gallons)
- R is the radius of the pot (in)
- H is the height of the pot (in)
To calculate the volume of a pot, multiply the radius squared by pi and the height, then divide by 281.
How to Calculate Pot Volume?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Pot Volume.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the radius of the pot (in).
- The radius of the pot (in) is given as: 6.
- Next, determine the height of the pot (in).
- The height of the pot (in) is provided as: 10.
- Finally, calculate the Pot Volume using the equation above:
PV = 3.14159*R^2*H / 281
The values given above are inserted into the equation below:
PV = 3.14159*6^2*10 / 281 = 4.02 (gallons)
Example Problem #2:
The variables needed for this problem are provided below:
radius of the pot (in) = 8
height of the pot (in) = 12
Entering these values and solving gives:
PV = 3.14159*8^2*12 / 281 = 8.586 (gallons)
