Question

Matthew's wading pool is 6-fet across and 18 inches high. How much water does it take to fill the pool a foot deep?

Answer 1

7.48 gallons in cubic foot

V = pi * r^2 * h

V = 3.14 * 3^2 * 1

V = 28.26 cu. ft.


7.48 * 28.26 = ________ gallons

Answer 2

Radius = r = 3 ft, height = 1.5 ft

volume = pi r^2 h = pi (9)(1.5) = 42.4 ft^3
