In SI units, volumes are typically measured in either cubicmeters or in liters (they are not the same thing). Liters weredefined by setting 1 mL equal to 1 cm3, to create a metric unit forvolume. In US units, we measure volume in gallons, quarts, etc. (1gallon = 4 quarts = 3.79 Liters). An Olympic size swimming pool is164 feet long by 84 feet wide, and at least 6’ 7” deep. Assuming apool slopes uniformly from 6’7” deep at the shallow end to 18’ deepat the deep end, how many gallons of water would it take to fillthe pool? Assess whether your answer seems reasonable (i.e. if youget 1.4 gallons, would that be reasonable?).

First we will calculate the average depth of the pool so that we can find the total volume and then ... View the full answer
