Question

Is this question dealing with surface area or volume??

(Don’t mind the w•l•h)

Answer 1

Explanation:

First you must find the number of cubic feet in the pool. (That's volume)

Formula

V = l*w*h

Givens

• l =38
• w = 22
• w = 8

Solution

Volume

V = 38 * 22 * 8

V = 6688 cubic feet.

Gallons

1 cubic foot = 7.5 gallons

6688 ft^3 = x

Proportion

1/6688 = 7.5 / x Cross Multiply

x * 1 = 7.5 * 6688

x = 50160 gallons
