1. A cylindrical swimming pool has a diameter 32 of feet and a height of 7 feet. About how many gallons of

water can the pool contain? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. (1 ft - 7.5 gal

42,223 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the volume of the pool and then multiply that by the conversion factor 1 ft³: 7.5 gallons.

If the pool diameter is 32 feet, then the pool radius is 16 feet.

The volume here is V = πr²h, or V = π (16 ft) ² (7 ft) = 5629.73 ft³

Multiplying this volume by 1 ft³: 7.5 gallons, we get:

(5630 ft³) (7.5 gallons / 1 ft³) = 42,223 gallons
