Question

Your answer is incorrect. an empty swimming pool needs to be filled to the top. the pool is shaped like a cylinder with a diameter of 8 m and a depth of 1.6 m . suppose water is pumped into the pool at a rate of 11 m3 per hour. how many hours will it take to fill the empty pool? use the value 3.14 for π , and round your answer to the nearest hour. do not round any intermediate computations.

Answer 1

How can my answer be incorrect if I haven't even figured it out yet ? ?

The volume of a cylinder is (pi) (radius²) (height, length, or depth).

The pool's diameter is 8m, so its radius is 4m .

The volume of the pool is (pi) (4m)² (1.6 m) = 25.6 pi m³ .

Filling it at the rate of 11 m³/hr, it will take

(25.6 pi / 11) = 7.308... hours to fill it to the brim.

Rounded to the nearest hour, that's 7 hours.
