Question

A rectangular swimming pool is 19 meters long, 13 1 2 meters wide, and 1 1 2 meters deep. What is its volume?

Answer 1

Answer:

The volume of the rectangular swimming pool is $384.75\ m^{3}$  or  $384\frac{3}{4}\ m^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of the rectangular swimming pool is equal to

$V=LWH$

we have

$L=19\ m$

$W=13\frac{1}{2}\ m=\frac{13*2+1}{2}=\frac{27}{2}\ m$

$H=1\frac{1}{2}\ m=\frac{1*2+1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}\ m$

substitute

$V=(19)(\frac{27}{2})(\frac{3}{2})$

$V=\frac{1,539}{4}=384.75\ m^{3}$

Convert to mixed number

$384.75=384\frac{3}{4}\ m^{3}$
