a)

 

Volume  of  pool    =    [ area  of a trapezoid  with bases of  1m, 1.3m   and height  of 12]  *   4

 

So we  have

 

(1/2) (12)  ( 1 + 1.3)    *  4   =

 

6 ( 2.3)  *  4   =

 

24 * 2.3  =

 

55.2  m^3     =   55.2 * (1000 L)  =  55,200 L

 

b ) Time it takes to fill the pool   =    55,200  / 7.5   =  7360 min

 

 

 

2)  Cost

 

2.75   (55.2)  = 152.625  pounds

 

 

cool cool cool

No, It is 1.8. I guess 3 and 8 look similar!

OK....this doesn't show up well for me

 

So....revised answer

 

a)  (1/2) (12) ( 1.8 +1) * 4  =   6 (2.8) * 4  =  67.2 m^3  =  67,200 L

 

b )  67200/7.5  =  8960 min

 

c)  2.75 * 67.2  =  184.8  pounds

 

 

cool cool cool
