How many gallons of water are in a 4' x 12' square pool that is 4' deep?

Answer 1

Well, first of all, 4' x 12' is not a square. I think you actually used

that word to tell me that the pool is rectangular, and not some

weird shape like an ellipse or a kidney. I appreciate that.

I have to assume that the bottom is level, with no drop-offs or

slopes, so that it's 4-ft deep everywhere. You didn't give me

any other details to describe the bottom differently.

The space you've described is a simple "rectangular prism",

and its volume is just (length) x (width) x (height).

Volume = 4' x 12' x 4' = 192 cubic feet

1 cubic foot = 7.4805 gallons (rounded)

Volume of that space = 1,436.26 gallons (rounded)

I have no idea how much water you're keeping in that space today.
