avg. depth = 4 feet
volume = (length x width x avg. depth x
5.9) 20 x 20 x 4 x 5.9 = 9,440 gallons

Example 4 (Metric Units):
diameter 1 = 6m
diameter 2 = 6m
avg. depth = 1m
volume = (length x width x avg. depth x
785) 6 x 6 x 1 x 785 = 28,260 liters

3. Circular Spa

Example 5 (U.S. Customary Units):
diameter 1 = 4 feet
diameter 2 = 4 feet
avg. depth = 3 feet
volume = (length x width x average depth x 283)
4 x 4 x 3 x 5.9 = 283 gallons

Example 6 (Metric Units):
diameter 1 = 1.5m
diameter 2 = 1.5m
avg. depth = 1m
volume = (length x width x average depth x 785)
1.5 x 1.5 x 1 x 785 = 1,766 liters
