Answer:
1885.5 m^3 of water
Step-by-step explanation:
I'll assume this is the complete question
Lauren has an above-ground pool. To keep the pool's skimmer working well, the water level must be 4 inches from the top of the pool. When the pool is filled to this recommended level, approximately how many cubic feet of water will it contain? Use π = 3.14
The pool forms a cylinder with a radius of 12 feet and a height of 4.5 feet.
height of pool = 4.5 ft
radius of pool[tex]12^{2}[/tex] = 12 ft
height of water is 4 inches below pool top
12 inches make 1 ft
4 inches = 4/12 ft = 0.33 ft
Therefore, height of water = 4.5 - 0.33 = 4.17 ft
volume of the water in this section of the cylinder will be equal to the volume of the cylinder formed
volume of cylinder formed by the water = volume of water = π[tex]r^{2}[/tex]h
volume = 3.14 x [tex]12^{2}[/tex] x 4.17 = 1885.5 m^3 of water
