Question

Suppose you are figuring out how many gallons of water you need to fill a pool which measurements are as follows: Length 1.6 m , Width 1432 cm, and depth 8.014 m. Determine the volume of your pool taking in consideration significant figures. *

Answer 1

Gallons of water : 48506.5

Further explanation

Volume is a derivative quantity derived from the length of the principal

The unit of volume can be expressed in liters or milliliters or cubic meters

The volume of the aquarium is almost the same as the beam namely:

V = length x width x height

.volume of the pool :

$\tt V=L\times W\times H\\\\V=1.6\times 14.32\times 8.014=183.617~m^3$

1 m³ = 264.172 gallons, so for 183.617 m³ :

$\tt 183.617\times 264.172=48506.5(6~significant~figures)$
