A home owner has decided to fill in his inground pool because it is no longer are used assume the pool is rectangular and measures 20 feet wide by 40 feet long and 5.5 feet deep throughout each cubic yards of fill dirt cost $12 how much will it cost to fill in the pool assume that he must purchase for cubic yards only even if that means by more than he needs

Expert Solution
Step 1

Dimensions of the pool is 20 feet  wide, 40 feet long and 5.5 feet deep throughout.

We have to find how much it will cost o fill the pool, when each cubic yard of dirt costs $12.

Volume of the pool is given by

V=20×40×5.5=4400 cubic feet

Hence, V=4400 cubic feet

Now, convert cubic feet to cubic yard, which is given below.

1 cubic feet=0.037037 cubic yard4400 cubic feet=0.037037×4400 cubic yard4400 cubic feet=162.96 cubic yard
