A cylindrical swimming pool has a diameter of 16 feet and a height of 3 feet. How many gallons of water can the pool contain? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. (1 ft3 ≈ 7.5 gal)

Answer 1

we need to calculate the volume of the cylinder:

Volume =pi x height x radius² = Volume =pi x height x Diameter²/4

One we calculate the volume in ft³, we can convert this value to gallons.

Say the Volume is A ft³. Then the number of gallons is A x 7.5 gal.

I will let you do these calculations.
