A circular backyard pool has a diameter of 26

feet and is 4

feet deep. One cubic foot of water has a capacity of approximately 7.48 gallons. If water costs ​$2

per thousand​ gallons, how​ much, to the nearest​ dollar, will it cost to fill the​ pool

Respuesta :

Volume of the pool = πr²h

Volume of the pool:
π(13)²(4) = 2123.72 ft³


Amount of water :
1  ft³ = 7.48 gallon
2123.72 ft³ = 2123.72 x 7.48
2123.72 ft³ = 15885.4 gallons

Cost to fill the pool:
1000 gallon = $2
15885.4 gallons = $32

Answer: $32


The cost to fill the​ pool with water is $32 .

What is circular backyard pool ?

A circular backyard pool is in the shape of cylinder. The base has the circular shape and it has the depth as cylinder. The volume of the circular backyard pool is the capacity of the pool.

For the given situation,

The diameter of the circular backyard pool,d = 26 feet

So, radius of the circular backyard pool,r = [tex]\frac{26}{2}[/tex]

⇒ r = 13 feet

Volume of circular backyard pool = base area × height

⇒ [tex]V=(\pi r^{2} )h[/tex]

⇒ [tex]V=(3.14) (13)^{2} )(4)[/tex]           [∵ π = 3.14]

⇒ V = 2122.64 cubic feet

We know that 1 cubic feet = 7.48 gallons

Now, 2122.64 cubic feet = 2122.64 × 7.48 gallons

⇒ 15877.34 gallons

Costs per thousand​ gallons = $2

⇒ 1000 gallons = $2

⇒ 1 gallons = [tex]\frac{2}{1000}[/tex]

⇒ $0.002

Thus cost to fill the pool = 15877.34 × 0.002

⇒ $31.75 ≈ $32

Hence we can conclude that the cost to fill the​ pool with water is $32 .
