How many gallons of water will a swimming pool 24 foot by 5 foot hold?

Answer 1

Aha. You have asked a trick question that has have more than one answer. To start with there are 7.48 gallons in one cubic foot. Now we have to start making guesses. Do you mean 12 feet long by 5 feet wide which would be 60 square feet? Or perhaps you mean a round pool that is a 12 foot circle and 5 feet deep which would be a truly strange pool dimension? 1. Lets start with the first choice. A 60 square foot pool would contain nearly 449 gallons for each foot of depth. Fill it 1 foot deep and it takes 449 gallons, 2 foot deep takes. 998 gallons, and 3 feet deep would be 1347 gallons. 2. The second option requires a bit more math but here it is. The area of a 12 foor circle would be about 113 square feet using the standard formula pi times radius squared. Each foot of depth would hold Tabout 846 gallons. Therefore if it was 5 feet deepp it would contain 4225 gallons.

Answer 2

A third dimension is required, but you can figure about 900 gallons for every foot in the third dimension.

Answer 3

Cannot be answered without knowing the length, width and depth.

Answer 4
