Problem
A manager needs to know how much water a cylindrical tank holds when full. Name the geometric measure needed.
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
Translate the manager’s question into the feature being measured before naming a formula. How much water the tank holds refers to all three-dimensional space inside it, not material covering the outside, distance around a cross-section, or distance across one. Match that interior-capacity description to the geometric measure designed for contained space.
