The formula for area and volume are:
Area = Length * Width Volume = Length * Width * Height therefore Volume = Area * Height
You know the Area is 40 acres, and the height is 1 inch, you just need to convert them to the same basic unit, such as inches. On the area conversion page we find that: 40 acre = 250,905,600 square inch
So then we can calculate: 250,905,600 square inches * 1 inch = 250,905,600 cubic inches
Now we go to the volume conversion page to convert that to gallons.
250,905,600 cubic inch = 1,086,171.4285714 gallon [US, liquid]
