Answer:

The volume of the water in the pool is 1,017 cubic feet

Explanation:

we know that

The volume of a cylinder is equal to


V=\pi r^(2) h

we have


r=18/2=9\ ft ----> the radius is half the diameter

Remember that


1\ ft=12\ in

so


6\ in=6/12=0.5\ ft

To find out the height of the water, subtract 0.5 feet from the height of the swimming pool


h=4.5-0.5=4\ ft

assume


\pi =3.14

Find the volume of the water


V=(3.14)(9^(2))(4)


V=1,017\ ft^3
