Question

You have a cylindrical pond that has a diameter of 24 feet and has a depth of 6 feet. If you need to fill the pond three-quarters of the way up with water and water costs $2.50 per cubic foot, how much will you need to spend to fill the pond?

Answer 1

Answer:

• $5089.38

Step-by-step explanation:

Given cylinder with:

• d = 24 ft, h = 6 ft

We need to fill it up to:

• h = 6 ft * 3/4 = 4.5 ft

The volume is:

• V = πr²h = π(d/2)²h = π*(24/2)²*(4.5) = 2035.75 ft³ (rounded)

You need to spend:

• 2035.75 * $2.50 = $5089.38  (rounded)
