Answer:

10 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is on volume and capacity

The volume of a cylinder is given by, v=[tex]\pi[/tex]r²h

where r is the radius and h is the height

h=1.7 feet and r=0.5 feet

v= 3.142×0.5×0.5×1.7

v=1.335 ft³

given that 1ft³=7.5 gallons

then 1.335 ft³=?

perform cross multiplication⇒(1.335×7.5)÷1 =10.01

=10 gallons
