An empty swimming pool needs to be filled to the top. The pool is shaped like a cylinder with a diameter of 9 m and a depth of 1.1 m. Suppose water is pumped into the pool at a rate of 13 m^3 per hour. How many hours will it take to fill the empty pool?

Use the value 3.14 for pi, and round your answer to the nearest hour. Do not round any intermediate computations.

Answer:

πr2h

volume of cylinder

3.14×3×3×1.1=31.086m^3

1hour=13m^3

31.086m^3

divide 31.086÷13=2.3912hours
