Suppose a house has an 8-ft ceiling in all rooms except the living room, which
has a 10-ft cathedral ceiling. Approximately how many marbles would fit into
this house?
Suppose you wish to build a spa on a wood deck. The deck is to be built 4
ft above level ground. It is to be 50 ft by 30 ft and is to contain a spa
that is circular with a 14-ft diameter. The spa is 4 ft deep.
- How much water will the spa contain, and how much will it
weigh? Assume that the spa itself weighs 550 lb.
- Draw plans for the wood deck.
- Draw up a materials list.
- Estimate the cost for this installation.
