To find the volume of a cylinder, you can use the formula:

\[ V = \pi r^2 h \]

where \( V \) is the volume, \( r \) is the radius, and \( h \) is the height.

From your message, it seems like the height of the cylinder is 28 feet and the diameter might be 27 feet. To find the radius, you would divide the diameter by 2:

\[ r = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{27}{2} = 13.5 \text{ feet} \]

Now you can calculate the volume:

  1. Calculate the radius squared: \[ r^2 = (13.5)^2 = 182.25 \]

  2. Plug the radius and height into the volume formula: \[ V = \pi (13.5)^2 (28) = \pi (182.25)(28) \]

  3. Calculate the product: \[ 182.25 \times 28 = 5103 \]

  4. Finally, multiply by \( \pi \): \[ V \approx 5103 \times \pi \approx 16033.7 \text{ cubic feet} \]

So, the volume of the cylinder is approximately 16033.7 cubic feet.
