Question

a maintenance - company of swimming pools must determine how many gallons of water are needed to fill a pool. the rectangular right - prism shown is used to represent the pool. how many gallons of water will be needed to completely fill the pool? show your work and explain your answer. (1 cubic foot ≈ 7.5 gallons). write your answer, your work and your explanation in the provided space.

Explanation:

Step1: Calcular el volumen del prisma rectangular

El volumen $V$ de un prisma rectangular se calcula con la fórmula $V = l\times w\times h$, donde $l = 60$ pies, $w = 6$ pies y $h = 4$ pies. Entonces $V=60\times6\times4=1440$ pies cúbicos.

Step2: Convertir pies cúbicos a galones

Dado que 1 pie cúbico $\approx7.5$ galones, multiplicamos el volumen en pies cúbicos por 7.5. Entonces $1440\times7.5 = 13500$ galones.

Answer:

13500 galones
