Answer:
1312.5 cubic feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the swimming pool be a rectangular prism
The volume of a rectangular prism is:
Volume = length * width * depth
Length = 25 (given)
Width = 15 (given)
The depth is 4ft, but they want the volume when water is 6 inches FROM THE TOP, that is, out of 4 feet, 6 inches (1/2 feet) IS NOT FILLED. So the depth of water is
4 - 1/2 = 3.5 feet
So, we can say
Depth = 3.5 (found)
Hence, the volume would be:
Volume = 25 * 15 * 3.5 = 1312.5 cubic feet
