To find the volume of water in the pool, we would find the area of the pool's surface and multiply it by the depth of the pool. The area of the pool's surface would be determined by the formula,
Area = pi x radius^2
From the information given,
diameter = 5
recall,
radius = diameter/2
Thus,
radius = 5/2 = 2.5
depth = 6 inches
We would convert from inches to feet
Recall,
12 inches = 1 foot
6 inches = 6/12 = 0.5 foot
Thus, depth = 0.5
pi = 3.14
Thus,
Area = 3.14 x 2.5^2 = 19.625
Volume = 19.625 x 0.5 = 9.8125
Volume of water in pool is 9.8 cubic feet to 1 decimal place
