I'm having a lot of problems with this code;

"Assume the tanker is a cylinder with length 43 feet and capacity 9500 gallons. In feet, what is the diameter? "

I'm very new at this and I don't even know how to begin to answer this question.
Start with the formula for the volume of a cylinder.
You also need to convert gallons into cubic feet (6.288 imp gal == 1 cu ft)
you first divide the no. of gallons with 6.288 to get cubic feet, and then you take the square root of (9500/6.288)/43, and then you get the radius. I think then you know how to get the diamater.
