To find the amount of water that can be put in the swimming pool, we need to calculate the volume of the pool.
The formula for the volume of a cylinder is:
V = πr^2h
where V is the volume, π is the constant pi, r is the radius of the cylinder (which is half the diameter), and h is the height of the cylinder.
We are given that the diameter of the pool is 30 feet, so the radius is:
r = d/2 = 30/2 = 15 feet
We are also given that the height of the pool is 5 feet.
Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
V = πr^2h V = 3.14 x 15^2 x 5 V = 3.14 x 225 x 5 V = 3528.75 cubic feet
Therefore, the amount of water that can be put in the swimming pool is approximately 3532.5 cubic feet.
The closest answer choice is C. 3532.5 cubic feet.
