Question

2. About how many gallons of water does the water cooler bottle contain? (1 ft3 = 7.5 gal)

Answer 1

The bottle can contain 4521.6 gallons of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The diameter of the cylindrical bottle = 16 feet.

And the height of the cylindrical bottle = 3 feet.

(1 ft³ = 7.5 gallons)

Now, to find the gallons of water the bottle can contain.

So, we find the radius first:

Radius (r) = =

Height (h) = 3 feet.

Now, to get the volume of bottle which is cylindrical in shape by putting formula (using the value of π = 3.14):

Thus, getting the volume of pool 602.88 feet³.

As, given 1 ft³ = 7.5 gallons.

Now, to get the gallons of water the pool can contain we multiply the volume of pool by 7.5:

Therefore, the pool can contain 4521.6 gallons of water.
