10. How much water can Th swimming pool hold 9 yd. 8 yd.
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
The area of the pool is equal to its length multiplied by its width. And if you have memorized your times tables you will know that 9 times 8 equals 72. So therefore the amount of water that the swimming pool can hold would be 72 yards squared.
