water does the pool bold?
·Solution • V=L x W x H
Length= 50 meters, Weight "" 30 meters, Height = 2.5 meters
The pool holds = V == 50 x 30·x 2.5 • 3750 meter cube.
54) Ail arena has a floor that meHure s 40 meten by ~O meters, with a ceiling 8 meters high. How mucla

Solution V = Length x Width x I lcight
Length = 40 meters, Width =- 50 meters, Height = 8 meters
V • 40 x 50 x 8 "" 16000 meters cube. And v - 16,000,000 meters •
55) An air duct in a stadium has a circular cross section with a radius of 18 inches and a length of 40
feet. ~bat is the volume of the duct, and how much paint (in square feet) is needed
to paint ~e
exterior of the duct?
Solution Radius = 18 :t' ·hes, . · length= 40 feet
Radius = 18 inches x I·.feeth l.Sfeet ·
12 me es
Volume o_fthe air duct= Volume of a cylinder = nrh = 3.142 x (l.5)2 x (4~) = 282.78 ft3
·
The exterior of the duct=. curved surface area of cylinder = 2 mh = 2(3.142) (l.5)(40) = 377.04 fr
Thus, the amount of paint needed is 377-ft' · . .
W <? a~e assuming here that ~hei:e are no circular end pieces cin the duct that need to be pointed

Solution . Rectangle cross section: . :. ~eight= 3 m, height~ 2 m; •. length.= 30 m. .· ..· . .·
A ~ater c~l has a rectangular cross section, so the volume of water in water canal is its Jength ·
