Your pool is 25 yards by 50 meters. What are those dimensions in linear feet?
25 yards * 3 feet in a yard = 75 feet.
50 meters * 3.28 feet in a meter = 164 feet
What is the surface area or (SA) 75 * 164 = 12,300
What is the SURFACE AREA or SA of circular spa that has a diameter of 12 feet?
Equation you use is R (Radius) * R (Radius) * 3.14
6 * 6 * 3.14 = 113 feet
What is the SURFACE AREA of an oval spa that is 12 feet by 24 feet?
12 * 24 * 3.14 = 904.32
What is the volume of this 12 feet circular spa? It has a constant depth of 3 feet?
6 * 6 * 3.14 * 3 * 7.5 = 2,543.4 gallons
The equation is Surface Area (6 * 6 * 3.14) X Depth and times 7.5 for gallons.
