Question

Each of the four sides of a swimming pool measures 12 meters. The pool is 6 meters deep. How much water will be needed to fill it completely? Use your calculator to calculate using exponents.

Answer 1

Answer:

  864 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume is given by ...

  V = LWH = (12 m)(12 m)(6 m) = 864 m³

864 cubic meters of water are required to fill the pool completely.

___

You could calculate this as 12²·6 or as 12³/2, or you can use your knowledge of powers of 12 to compute it as 144·6 or 1728/2.
