What is the volume in gallons of a rectangular pool with a length of 60 feet and a width of 30 feet, having a shallow-end depth of 3 feet and a deep-end depth of 7 feet? | |
We will continue to use a series of 'plug-and play' boxes as they are applied in the CPO® class. Just plug the correct number as given by the problem a perform the math (play) as indicated. | |
The formula for a pool volume in gallons is: V = A times AD times 7.5
You may wish to look back on the Main Page. Under things to know it gave you - One cubic foot of water contains 7.5 gallons. |
|
V = x x 7.5 |

V = x x 7.5 = |
Just as a reminder, knowing how to calculate volume in gallons is important for determining chemical changes, flow rates, and in some states, bather loads in pools.
