How to solve for "x" in this equation Thanks in advance: here is my equation: Area = \pir^{2} - r^{2}(arcos((r-x)/r))+(r-x))*\sqrt{2*r*x-x^{2}}

Indeed, the answer comes easily if the cylinder is vertically oriented. Then pi*r^2*h is the quick solution. But, if the cylinder is on its side... This is the problem I am trying to solve. I have no problem determining the volume of fluid in a partially filled tank when height of fluid is...

The radius of the cylinder is 46 inches. The height of the fluid is below the total height if the cylinder. So, volume of cylinder would be 1000 ft^3, radius of cylinder is 46 inches, and volume of the fluid is 300 ft^3. What is the height of the fluid in the cylinder

Thanks in advance! I have problem that is causing me a headache to no end. In a cylinder, if one knows the total volume of cylinder and total volume of fluid in said cylinder, how would the height of this fluid be computed? I have no problems calculating volumes based on height, but the other...
