I have to keep an inventory of how much is kept in a farm of tanks
outside my school. The tanks are cylindrical, which would be no
problem if they were standing on end, but they're not, they're lying
on their sides.

x----------x -Liquid level which is variable,
x x can go up or down

Imagine the above is a circle. I know the diameter of the circle,
and I can measure from the top of the circle down to the liquid level.
How can I use this information to derive the amount of liquid in the
circle? I hope to make a formula I can use in a spreadsheet.
Thanks so much.
