For a square: length x width x height.
For a cylinder: pi*r squred* height. That should get you a good estimate of volume. |

I've seen a formula before that was length X width X height
and then something converts the cubic dimensions to gallons. |

Measurements in inches (Length x Width x Height) x 0.004329004329004
1 inch cube = 0.004329004329004 gallon. Or after you have your measurements you can plug it here: http://www.unit-conversion.info/volume.html Just make sure you have are using the correct unit of measure. Sorta relevant : http://youtu.be/BVtQNK_ZUJg Logic behind the math: http://youtu.be/KfNRArPXCjw |

One of the things that I recall from a Six Sigma course that I attended was a problem solving skill, its called the 5 Why's
So, I'll ask 1. Why? 2. Why? 3. Why? 4. Why? 5. Why? Once you answer these everyone will know why you're asking this question.

The answer to the question of WHY is
I'm building a new livewell. The water area is 18 inch by 14 inch by 9 inch. I wanted to know how many gallons of water this will hold. |

This is the perfect size and keeps the center of gravity lower. I built one like this, but put an outlet hose in case I ever want to use it in a small row or rental boat, instead of the holes on the side. If you have a PA and you sit higher than use the next size up container. It is a lot better because it doesn't have to hold as much water as the bucket one I used before and it is all self contained with a 6v battery. I have had 15 macs in there and they do better than in the bucket tank. http://www.kayakfishingsupplies.com/...it-tank-system
