School starts tomorrow, and this one problems has been driving me crazy all summer.
Some cylindrical pool has 2292 gallons of water, 5 feet in depth, and I need to find the radius. But to use the formula (V=pi*r^2*h), I need the volume, and gallons don't work with feet, right? I Googled how to convert gallons to cubic feet, and i got 306.395 ft^3. I should be using that data, right?
I've never had to convert gallons to cubic feet, and nowhere in the packet does it show you how. Am I thinking to much about this, or were my instincts correct?
