Question

What is the difference in volume when the pool is filled to the top versus filled to 6 inches below the top?

Answer 1

1/2 foot by the width by the length or 1/2 times area

Answer 2

pick a simple example... a pool 10 feet by 20feet by x feet deep

the volume is 200x ft^3 filled to the top

if its filled to 6 inches below the top

V = 10 * 20 * (x - 0.5)

V = (200x - 100) ft^3

so the difference is a volume equal to have the base area of the pool
