Question 3. This year, your family is hosting the family reunion. And for your young cousins, you want to install a wading pool in your backyard. The wading pool is to be 1.5 feet deep. You can either install a circular pool with a diameter of 10 feet long, or a rectangular pool with dimensions 10 feet by 25 feet wide. The excavated dirt is to be hauled away by wheelbarrow. If the wheelbarrow holds 10 cubic feet of dirt, which type of pool would use fewer wheelbarrows of dirt to be hauled away from the site?
