Answer:
10 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that the volume of a uniform cylinder may be defined by the formula:
Volume = Base Area x Height
In our case we are given
Volume = 15 ft³ and Base Area = 1.5 ft
Substituting these known values into the formula gives:
Volume = Base Area x Height
15 = Base Area x 1.5
Base Area = 15 / 1.5
Base Area = 10 ft²
(1/12)X = 6800
6800/ (1/12) = X
X = 81600 (hours)
6800 (6.8 * 10^3) divided by 1/12 (12^-1) equals 81600. It will take 81600 hours for the pool to completely empty at a rate of 0.833333333 or 12^-1 gallons per second.
