8" diameter x 8'

First find the cross sectional area of the tube which is the area of the circle with 8" diameter and then multiply that area by the length of the tube.

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is

lets convert everything to inches before we work it out







or roughly 4825.5 in^3 of cement
