Question

A pool in the shape of a rectangular prism is being filled with water. The length and width of the pool is 24 feet and 15 feet. If the height of the water in the pool is 1 1/3 feet, what is the volume of the water in cubic feet?

Answer 1

Answer:

The volume of water in the pool is 1320 feet³ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

Volume of a rectangular prism = Length × Breadth ×  Height

As given

A pool in the shape of a rectangular prism is being filled with water.

The length and width of the pool is 24 feet and 15 feet. If the height of the water in the pool is $\frac{11}{3}$ feet.

Length = 24 feet

Breadth = 15 feet

$Height = \frac{11}{3}\ feet$

Put all the values in the above formula

$Volume\ of\ water\ in\ the\ pool = 24\times 15\times \frac{11}{3}$

$Volume\ of\ water\ in\ the\ pool = \frac{11\times 24\times 15}{3}$

$Volume\ of\ water\ in\ the\ pool = \frac{3950}{3}$

Volume of water in the pool = 1320 feet³

Therefore the volume of water in the pool is 1320 feet³ .
