How much water is a 12-foot diameter pool that is 4 feet deep?

In: Swimming Pools, Geometry [Edit categories]

Answer:

There are just a hint over 3,384 gallons in a pool of those dimenstions that is full. The pool is a cylinder 12 feet in diameter and 4 feet deep. To find the volume of cylinder, we use the formula pi times the square of the radius times the height. A circle 12 feet in diameter has a radius of 6 feet. The pi x r² x h here is pi x 6² x 4 = 452.39 cubic feet. There are a bit short of 7.5 gallons in a cubic foot of water, and that's where the final answer comes from.
