how to find volume of a pool?? what's the formula... I'm in 7th grade and I need help finding the volume of a pool I just need an example please thanks

Answer 1

Let's assume the pool is a rectangular block

If you know the length width and depth (or height) of the pool, then you can find the volume.

For example
length = 30 feet
width = 10 feet
depth = 8 feet
volume = length*width*depth = 30*10*8 = 300*8 = 2400 cubic feet
This is assuming that the depth stays the same throughout the pool. Though some pools (or most?) have the depth gradually get deeper as you move toward the deep-end. To keep things simple however, the assumption is that the bottom is completely flat and it doesn't gradually get deeper.
