How to determin Hexagon Tank Gallon Size????

[The TRUST]

Anyone know how?

 

[Volenti]

Take the average of the widest and shortest dimention of the hexagon and calculate it as a cylinder, it will be close enough. Or download this calculator http://www.avlandesign.com/calc.htm .

Thus the area of a regular hexagon,
whose sides have length 1, is 3×sqrt(3)/2.
If each side has length s, the area is multiplied by s2.

area=(sXsX3Xsquareroot(3))/2

gallons=areaxheight/231 measurements in inches

this is where you should have listened in math class
simple way is area of base x height
