Question

The Smith family has

bought an above ground
pool. The manufacture
recommends that it be filled
to within 1 foot of the rim.
What is the volume of the
water at this height.
37. (V=TTr?h) (use 3.14 for TT)
a. 7536 cubic feet
b. 6280 cubic feet
c. 1570 cubic feet
d. 1884 cubic feet

Answer 1

b. 6280 cubic feet

Explanation:

Volume:

The volume of the prism, which has a cylindrical base, with radius r and height h, is given by:

`V = \pi r^2h`

Radius:

The radius is 20, so
`r = 20`

The manufacture recommends that it be filled to within 1 foot of the rim.

Height of 6 - 1 = 5, so
`h = 5`

Then

`V = 3.14*(20)^2*5 = 6280`

So the volume is 6280 cubic feet, and the correct answer is given by option b.
