Question

A cubical swimming pool is of side 12m is filled with water up to a depth of 2m. What is the quantity of water in the pool in liters?

Answer 1

Volume is Length x Width x height.

The pool is cubical, so the length and width are the same dimension.

First find the volume of the pool that is filled by water:

Volume = 12 x 12 x 2 = 288 cubic meters.

Now convert cubic meters to liters:

1 cubic meter = 1,000 liters

288 x 1000 = 288,000 liters
