Question

A rectangular lap pool measures 80 feet long by 20 feet wide if it needs to be filled to 48 and each cubic foot hose 7.5 gallons how many gallons will it take to fill the lap pool

Answer 1

Answer: it will take 576000 gallons to fill the lap pool.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the volume of water in the rectangular pool is expressed as

Volume = length × width × height

The rectangular lap pool measures 80 feet long by 20 feet wide if it needs to be filled to 48. It means that the volume of water that would be pumped inside the pool is

Volume = 80 × 20 × 48 = 76800 cubic feet

1 cubic foot = 7.5 gallons

76800 cubic feet = 76800 × 7.5 = 576000 gallons
