An empty swimming pool needs to be filled to the top. The pool is shaped like a cylinder with a diameter of
10 m
and a depth of
1.8 m
. Suppose water is pumped into the pool at a rate of
19 m3
per hour. How many hours will it take to fill the empty pool?

Use the value
3.14
for
π
, and round your answer to the nearest hour. Do not round any intermediate computations.

|dw:1455916715855:dw|is it 1.8 or 18???

dreamyemo · Answer

1.8

dani_rose · Answer

Rate =$$19m ^{3}$$

563blackghost · Answer

Well you would first find the volume of the cylinder....

$\huge{ \pi r^{2} h}$ input what you know....

$\huge{3.14(5^{2})1.8}$ you have to find the radius of the circle in which you divide 10 by 2 which equals 5...

dani_rose · Answer

So your question is just asking how many hours it'll take to fill the pool

dreamyemo · Answer

the answer to that would be 141.37 ?

563blackghost · Answer

Correct ^^ but its $\large{141.3}$...

563blackghost · Answer

Now you would divide...

$\huge{\frac {141.3}{19}}$
