Question

Sydney has a rectangular pool as shown in the figure. The pool is 6 feet deep throughout. mc017-1.jpg How much water is needed to fill the pool? 450 ft3 966 ft3 1,416 ft3 2,700 ft3

Answer 1

The amount of water that is needed to fill the pool is equal to the volume of the pool.

The pool is rectangular, with uniform depth so the volume of pool will be the product of its length , width and depth.

Thus,

Volume = 25 x 18 x 6 = 2700 ft³ 

This means, 2700 ft³ water is needed to fill the pool.

Answer 2

The amount of water that can be filled in the pool will be the same amount the volume of the pool has which is;

L*W*H = 6 * 25 * 18

volume = 2700 cubic ft.
