The volume of an ellipsoid (squashed sphere)=V=(4/3) (pi) (polar radius) (equatorial radius) ²=(4/3) (pi) (14,8/2) (7,5/2) ²=(4/3) (pi) (7,4) (3,75) ²=436 cubic inches (rounded) 436 cubic inches=241,5 fluid ounces=1,89 gallons (rounded) 1/2 juicy watermelon=121 fluid ouncesWe won't get into what percentage of the juicy watermelon is water. If it's anything over 53% water, than half of it gives you your recommended daily intake of fluids. I think we can pretty much rest assured that a juicy watermelon is more than 53% water.
