The pool is partially filled with water. The volume of the water in the pool is 45ft^2. How deep is the water?
A) 0.5 ft
B) 1.5 ft
C) 2.5 ft
D) 3.5 ft
I don't have an answer yet. Can someone help me please?
Volume is expressed as a cube, not a square.
I just typed it out the way the question was, the "^2" isn't meant to represent squared, it is supposed to be cubed. I am having trouble figuring out what order need to go in to solve for the height. The only other piece of information I have is the formula to find the volume of a cylinder, V=πr^2 h.
You still have not provided enough information, other than telling us the pool is a cylinder.
The only information that is provided by the question is the volume. I was correct with my guess of 1.5.
To find the depth of the water in the pool, we need to know the volume of the pool. The volume of a pool is typically measured in cubic units (such as cubic feet or cubic meters), not square units (such as square feet or square meters).
However, assuming that the volume of the water in the pool is actually 45 cubic feet instead of 45 square feet, we can proceed to find the depth of the water.
To find the depth, we need to divide the volume of the water by the area of the pool's base. Since we only have the volume of the water (45 cubic feet) and not the area of the pool's base, we cannot determine the depth of the water accurately.
Therefore, without additional information, it is not possible to determine the depth of the water in the pool.
Absurd question
First of all, volume is measured in cubic feet, not square feet.
To have 45 ft^3 , it could be a child's wading pool of of radius 3 ft with a height of appr 1.6 ft
Or an infinite number of other combinations
