You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The volume, V would be the area of the pool times the height
Diameter, d, is given as 24 ft
Area, A+=+pi%2Ar%5E2, where r+=+d%2F2
Convert height, 52in to feet
52in x 1%2F12feet/in = 4.33ft
r+=+24%2F2
r+=+12
A+=+pi%2A12%5E2
A+=+pi%2A144
A+=+452.39ft2
V+=+452.39%2A4.33ft3
V+=+1960.21ft3
To convert to gallons, multiply by the conversion factor
gallons/ft3, which I do not know offhand
