Question 271099: A swimming pool has to be drained for maintenance. The pool is shaped like a cylinder with a diameter of 13m and a depth of 2m . If the water is pumped out of the pool at the rate of 14m^3 per hour, how many hours does it take to empty the pool?
Use the value 3.14 for pi , and round your answer to the nearest hour. Answer by Greenfinch(383) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Volume of cylinder is pi x diameter x height
In this case = pi x 13 x 2 = 81.7 cu m
At 14 cu m/ hr = 81.7/14 = 5.83 hours or 5 hours 50 minutes
