A rectangular lap pool is filled with water to a depth of 5 feet. If the pool is 6 feet wide and 200 feet long, how many gallons would be required, if each cubic foot equals approximately 7.5 gallons?
.
Volume of pool (filled to a depth of 5 ft) is:
6*200*5 = 3600 cubic feet
.
If each cubic feet equals 7.5 gallons:
3600 * 7.5 = 27,000 gallons
