Nina needs to create a pond space that has a volume of 134 cubic feet and a depth of 4 feet. She proposes three possible pool designs:

a prism with a square top

an inverted cone with a circular opening

a hemisphere with a circular opening

Calculate the area of exposed water for each of Nina's proposed pool designs.

The area of exposed water for the prism pool is


square feet.

The area of exposed water for the inverted cone pool is

square feet.

The area of exposed water for the hemisphere pool is approximately

square feet

Respuesta :

a. Area of the exposed water of the prism pool: 33.5 ft²

b. The area of exposed water for the cone pool = 102.1 ft²

c. Hemisphere pool = πr² = π(4²) = 50.3 ft²

What is the Volume of an Hemisphere?

Volume = (2/3)πr

What is the Volume of a Cone?

Volume = 1/3πr²h

What is the Volume of a Prism?

Volume = Base area × height

a. Area of the exposed water = area of the square top = base area of the prism

Find base area using, Volume = Base area × height. Thus:

134 = Base area × 4

Base area = 134/4 = 33.5 ft²

Area of the exposed water for the prism pool = 33.5 ft²

b. Find the radius of the cone using, volume = 1/3πr²h.

134 = 1/3πr²(4)

(3)(134) = πr²(4)

402/4π = r²

32 = r²

r = 5.7 ft

The area of exposed water for the inverted cone pool = πr² = π(5.7)² = 102.1 ft²

c. The radius is the depth of the hemisphere pool

The area of the exposed water for the hemisphere pool = πr² = π(4²) = 50.3 ft²
