To do this question you need to multiply base times height. So it would be 24*17. After that, you should get 408 square feet.
Here is the solution to the given problem above.
Given the the amount of water in a pool is decreasing 5/8 gallon every hour.
And what would be the change in the number of gallons after 3/4 hour. So what we are going to do is just to multiply 5/8 by 3/4. And the result would be 15/32. The total change in the number of gallons of water in the pool after 3/4 hour would be 15/32 gallons.
For the first number you can choose from 8, for the second number only 7, for the third number only 6. So the number of combinations is 8x7x6=336
