The city council will consider reopening the closed water park if your team can come up
with a cost analysis for painting some of the structures, filling the pool water reservoirs,
and resurfacing some of the surfaces. What is your plan to convince the city council to
open the water park?
1. Your class decides that each member should work on different parts of the plan.
Use the information provided to calculate your part of the proposal. Remember to
document the information so your classmates can check your work.
a. The lazy river is basically a large circle that will need to be filled with
water. The radius of the outer perimeter is 30 yards. The river is 4 feet
deep and its width is 5 feet. First compute the river's volume in cubic feet
and then calculate how many gallons of water it will hold. Remember
1 cubic foot 7.48 gallons.

b. The large decorative storage unit needs to be updated, painted, and re-shingled.
The base of the storage shed is a rectangle measuring 15 feet by 20 feet, and
the shed's height is 10 feet. The roof's front face is an isosceles triangle with a
height of 4 feet. Find the surface area to be painted (including the front and
back of the roof's front face).
