John wants to fill his new pool. The pool has a radius of 6 feet and a height of 8 feet. It will take 7 gallons

Question

of water to cover 1 cubic foot of the pool. How many gallons of water will be needed to fill the pool to
capacity?

Answer 1

First, we need to calculate the volume of the pool. The volume of a cylinder is given by the formula V = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height of the cylinder.

So, in this case, V = π(6)^2 * 8 = 288π cubic feet.

Now, we know that it takes 7 gallons of water to cover 1 cubic foot of the pool. Therefore, the total number of gallons needed to fill the pool to capacity is:

288π * 7 = 2016π gallons.

Approximately, this equals about 6337.6 gallons.
