you need 628 square feet of sand.
Here we need to find the volume of the sand needed.
The volume filled with sand will be a cylinder of diameter of 20ft, and a height of 2 inches.
First, the radius is half of the diameter, then:
R = 20ft/2 =10ft
Remember that:
1ft= 12in
Then:
R = 10ft = 10*(12 in) = 120 in
And remember that the volume of a cylinder of radius R and height H is:
[tex]V = pi*R^2*H[/tex]
Where pi = 3.14
Then we have:
[tex]V = 3.14*(120 in)^2*2in = 90,432 in^2[/tex]
To get that in feets, we need to divide by 12 squared, then:
[tex]90,432 in^2 = 90,432ft^2/(12^2) = 628 ft^2[/tex]
So you need 628 square feet of sand.
