A swimming pool is a rectangular prism. Estimate the volume of water in the pool in gallons when it is completely full (Hint: 1 gallon = 0.134 ft^3 ((feet cubed)) ). The density of water is about 8.33 pounds per gallon. Estimate the weight of the water in pounds.
weight=volume*density
= L*W*H*1gak/.134ft^3*8.33 lbs/gal
where the dimensions are in feet.

To estimate the volume of water in the swimming pool, we need to know the dimensions of the rectangular prism. Let's assume the length of the pool is L feet, the width is W feet, and the depth is D feet.
The volume of a rectangular prism is calculated by multiplying the length, width, and depth together. Therefore, the volume of the swimming pool in cubic feet can be estimated as:
Volume = L * W * D
Next, we can convert the volume from cubic feet to gallons using the conversion factor given, which is 1 gallon = 0.134 cubic feet. Therefore, the volume in gallons can be estimated as:
Volume (in gallons) = Volume (in cubic feet) / 0.134
Now, let's estimate the weight of the water in pounds. The density of water is 8.33 pounds per gallon. So, we can multiply the volume in gallons by the density to get the estimated weight in pounds.
Weight (in pounds) = Volume (in gallons) * Density of water
To get the final estimates, we need the exact values for the length, width, and depth of the swimming pool.
To estimate the volume of water in the pool, we need to know the dimensions of the pool. Let's assume we know the length, width, and depth of the pool.
1. Start by measuring the length, width, and depth of the pool in feet. Write down these values.
2. To calculate the volume of the pool in cubic feet, multiply the length, width, and depth:
Volume in cubic feet = length (ft) x width (ft) x depth (ft)
For example, if the pool has a length of 20 feet, a width of 10 feet, and a depth of 6 feet, the volume would be:
Volume in cubic feet = 20 ft x 10 ft x 6 ft = 1,200 cubic feet
3. Convert the volume from cubic feet to gallons:
Since 1 gallon is equal to 0.134 cubic feet, divide the volume in cubic feet by 0.134:
Volume in gallons = Volume in cubic feet / 0.134
Using the previous example, the volume in gallons would be:
Volume in gallons = 1,200 cubic feet / 0.134 = 8,955.22 gallons (approximately)
So, the estimated volume of water in the pool, when it is completely full, is approximately 8,955.22 gallons.
To estimate the weight of the water in pounds, we need to use the density of water:
1. Multiply the volume of water in gallons by the density of water, which is approximately 8.33 pounds per gallon:
Weight of water in pounds = Volume in gallons x Density of water
Using the example above:
Weight of water in pounds = 8,955.22 gallons x 8.33 pounds/gallon = 74,516.27 pounds (approximately)
Therefore, the estimated weight of the water in the pool, when it is completely full, is approximately 74,516.27 pounds.
