In order to find out how many gallons there are in this pool (and for other questions similar to this) you need to say how deep it is. Since a pool is 3-dimensional, you need a third dimension which is height. Then you can find the volume and convert that to gallons. ========================================= Another contributor tried to help: -- If the bottom of the pool is 27-ft by 4-ft and level, then its capacity 807.9 gallons (rounded) for every inch of depth. -- We have no way of knowing how much water is in it. It could be empty and bone dry for all we know.
write the problem: 27x4-48x2y2factor out 4x from both: 4x(27-48y)factor out the 3's: 4x * 3 (9-16y)simplify: 12x(9-16y)if you want, factor out -1 to put y in front: -12x(16y-9)both answers are correct
