Question

A cylinder-shaped kid's pool has a diameter of 12 feet and a height of 2 feet. If each cubic footholds 7.48 gallons of water, about how many gallons of water can the kid's pool hold?

Answer 1

About 1691.886 gallons.

Explanation:

The firs step is to find the volume of the pool in cubic feet. The formula for the volume of a cylinder is
`\pi r^2 h`, which in this case is
`\pi \cdot 6^2 \cdot 2\approx 226.188` cubic feet. Multiplying this by 7.48, you get a total of about 1691.886 gallons of water. Hope this helps!
