A round swimming pool has a diameter of 15 feet and is 6 feet tall.
How much water will the pool hold?
:
The pool is in the shape of cylinder, with a radius of 7.5 ft, a height of 6 ft
:
V = pi%2A7.5%5E2%2A6
V = 1060.3 cu/ft of water (assuming is is totally full)
:
There are 7.481 gal in 1 cu/ft
1060.3*7.481 = 7932 gallons
