At many fine museums and college campus they have a “reflecting pool” which is a long shallow pool where the water reflects some pretty scene. At a local museum there is a reflecting pool 15 yards by 18 feet by 4.5 inches deep. What is the volume of the pool in cubic feet? If 7.48 gallons = 1 cubic foot, then how much water is needed to fill the pool in gallons? If a gallon of water weighs 8.35 pounds, how much does the water in the reflecting pool weigh?
