1 Given: Reser Stadium A fire hose Find: The time required to fill Reser Stadium with a fire hose (assuming no leaking or seeping during the process)

2 Estimates Estimate7 days5 Days3.5 Days3 Days

3 Method/Approach Found the estimated volume of Reser Stadium by breaking it up into basic geometric shapes. Estimated how fast a fire hose pumps out water. Divided the estimated volume by the amount of water per minute pumped out by the fire hose and converted that answer into days.

4 Assumptions Fire hose=100 gallons of water/minute Dimensions for Reser Stadium: Width: 75 Yards Length: 150 Yards Height: 75 Yards

5 Solution Volume=(150*75*75)+(75*25)+((4*pi*25^2)/2) V=861332.96 Yd^3 V/100=8613.33 min. = 143.56 hr. =5.98 Days
