----------------------------------------
Define x:
----------------------------------------
Let x be the length of the pool.

Length of the pool and its border = x + 1 + 1
Length of the pool and its border = x + 2

----------------------------------------
Given area = 361 ft², find x:
----------------------------------------
(x+2)² = 361
x+ 2 = √361
x + 2 = 19
x = 19 - 2
x = 17

----------------------------------------
Find Length of the pool:
----------------------------------------
Length of the pool = x = 17 feet

----------------------------------------
Find Area of the pool:
----------------------------------------
Area = 17 x 17 
Area = 289 ft²

------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Area of the pool = 289 ft²
------------------------------------------------------------

<h3>Answer:</h3>

<u><em>The height of the rectangular prism is </em></u><u><em>2 yards in length.</em></u>

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

By knowing that the volume of a rectangular prism is length * width * height, it is rather simple to find the answer.

Firstly, you'll multiply the lengths that you already know.

(length * width)

<em>3/4 * 1/3 ---> 0.25 or 1/4</em>

Next, you'll divide the volume by this amount to find the unknown height.

<em>1/2 ÷ 1/4 ---> 2</em>

Your height would be 2 yards in length.
