Answer:
530.1 cubic feet
Explanation:
The volume of a cylinder is calculated with the formula


You are solving for V, the volume. The diameter of the pool is 15 ft, so the radius is half that, 7.5 ft. That radius will be your
. Your height, which is represented by
, is 3 ft.
Now you must solve the equation.
1. Before you do any multiplication, you must square the radius, because of the order of operations.
.
2. Now, you can multiply all three numbers together. In case you don't have a pi button, pi is approximately equal to 3.14159.
≈
.
3. Your last step is to round that value to the nearest tenth. The tenths place is immediately to the right of the decimal. If the number to the right is 5 or larger, you round the 1 up to a 2. in this case, it is not, so your answer is 530.1 cubic feet.
