The volume of the pool can be calculated using the formula for the volume of a cylinder: V = πr^2h
Given:
- Diameter of the pool = 12 feet, so the radius (r) = 6 feet
- Height of the pool (h) is not given, but not needed to calculate the weight of water
Volume of water in the pool = 3,110 gallons
Weight of water = 8.34 pounds/gallon
Weight of water added to the pool = 3,110 gallons x 8.34 pounds/gallon = 25,937.4 pounds
Therefore, the weight added to the pool when it is filled with 3,110 gallons of water is 25,937.4 pounds.
The correct option is: 25,937.4 pounds.
