36. A new swimming pool is an 18 feet wide and 36 feet long rectangle with varying depths. The diagram at the right shows a cross-section view of the water depth dimensions.
t2p36

a) If 1 cubic foot = 7.48 gallons of water, how mnay gallons of water will be needed to fill the pool, to the nearest gallon?

b) To save money, Kyle decides to haul the water for the pool with his pickup truck and a rented water tank that he will place in the back of the truck. The rented water tank has a cylindrical base with a 5.5 foot diameter and a hemispherical (half a sphere) top. The cargo box of Kyle's truck has a carrying capacity of 3000 pounds. Assume that Kyle will fill the tank to its maximum capacity and that water weighs 8.34 pounds per gallon. Will Kyle be able to safely transport the water? Justify your answer.
