Inner dimensions of the pool: Inner dimensions of the pool:

Diameter = 8 m Length = 6 m
Depth = 1 m Width = 3.5 m
Depth = 1,65 m
Tiles – 20 cm × 20 cm (16 in a box)

NOTE: 1 𝑚3 = 1 000 𝑙

Use the information above to answer the questions that follow.

3.1 Explain the difference between a diameter and a radius. (4)

3.2 Calculate the perimeter of a rectangular swimming pool. (4)

3.3 Calculate, rounded to the nearest litre, the total volumes of the two
swimming pools for the water that is needed.

You may use the following formulae:

Volume of a cylinder = 3,142 × (𝒓𝒂𝒅𝒊𝒖𝒔)𝟐 × 𝒅𝒆𝒑𝒕𝒉

Volume of a rectangular prims = length × width × depth (8)
