    Volume of part filled cylinder (On SIDE)

    How Can I Find The Area Of The Blue In the Picture

    Red Line - Height of water (H)
    Yellow Line - Chord
    Green - radius of Circle

    please dont overly compicate things diffrent color lines are just to helf you understand The Yellow line indicates the fill level of a cylinder on its side. How can I Calculate the volume of the water?

    V = 1/3*pi*h^2(3r-h)
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.

    I Made This Function with the formula u gave me and it returns 0

    Private Const PI As Long = 3.14
    Private Function GetAreaCovered(Height As Long, Radius As Long) As Currency
    Dim Tmp As Currency

    Tmp = (1 / 3) * PI * Height ^ 2 * (3 * Radius) * Height
    End Function

    are you after the area or the volume?
    you forgot to return the value and its not the same function either

    I want the volume of the water inside the cylinder. is this how i would do it?
    VB Code:
    1. Private Const PI As Long = 3.14
    2. Private Function GetVolume(Height As Long, Length as Long,Radius As Long) As Currency
    3. Dim Tmp As Currency
    4.  
    5. Tmp = (1 / 3) * PI * Height ^ 2 * (3 * Radius) * Height
    6. GetVolume = Tmp * Length
    7. End Function
