Mr. Jacobs has a circular pool. The diameter of the pool is 12 feet, and it is filled to a depth of 4 feet. Mr. Jacobs wants to increase the depth to 8 feet. How will this change affect the volume of the pool?

Respuesta :

The change will make the volume of the pool double.

How to find the volume of a circular pool?

The pool is circular. Therefore, it is a cylindrical.

Hence,

volume of a cylinder = πr²h

where

  • r = radius
  • h = height

Therefore,

diameter = 12

radius = 12 / 2 = 6 ft

height = 4 ft

volume = π × 6² × 4 = 144π

When you want to increase the depth

volume = π × 6² × 8

volume  = π × 36 × 8

volume  = π × 36 × 8

volume = 288π

Therefore, the change will make the volume of the pool double.
