Answer 1

The pool can contain 10492 gallons of water

What is volume of cylinder?

The capacity of a cylinder, which determines how much material it can carry, is determined by the cylinder's volume. There is a formula for the volume of a cylinder that is used in geometry to determine how much of any quantity, whether liquid or solid, may be immersed in it uniformly. A cylinder is a three-dimensional structure having two parallel, identical bases that are congruent.

Right circular cylinder: A cylinder with circular bases and a lateral curved surface with each line segment perpendicular to the bases.

Oblique Cylinder: A cylinder with sides that are inclined over the base at a different angle than a right angle.

An elliptic cylinder is a cylinder with ellipses at its bases.

Two right circular cylinders tied together inside of one another form a right circular hollow cylinder.

volume of cylinder= (π)$r^2h$

diameter= 18feet

radius = 9 feet

height = 5.5 feet

volume= 3.14*($9^2$)*5.5

     = 1398.87 $feet^3$

volume in gallons = 1398.87 * 7.5

                 = 10492 gallons
