Can you tell me the formula for working out the volume of water in a circular pool? The pool is 3.6m in diameter and the water is 0.75m deep. Thanks! |

The formula is, , where radius (half the diameter) depth (goes on forever). The reason I know this is that is the area of the disc and then I multiplied this by depthto get the volume. If the pond had been square-shaped then I would have multiplied the area of a square by depth. Is that okay? Ian |
