The pool can hold 65.84 ft³ of water
<u>Explanation:</u>
Given:
Shape of pool = octagonal
Base area of the pool = 22 ft²
Depth of the pool = 3 feet
Volume, V = ?
We know:
Area of octagon = 2 ( 1 + √2) a²
22 ft² = 2 ( 1 + √2 ) a²
a² =
a² = 4.55
a = 2.132 ft
Side length of the octagon is 2.132 ft
We know:
Volume of octagon =
Therefore, the pool can hold 65.84 ft³ of water
