is it possible to find out how many gallons of water is in my 18 foot x 12 foot pool it is also about 4 and 1/2 feet deep?

Dave,

There are 231 cubic inches in an American gallon so you first need to calculate the volume of the pool in cubic inches. Your pool is

18 ft = 18 12 = 216 inches, by
12 ft = 12 12 = 144 inches, by
4.5 ft = 4.5 12 = 54 inches.

Thus the volume of your pool is

216 144 54 = 1679616 cubic inches

Now divide by 231 to find the volume in gallons.
