Question

The length of a swimming pool is 22 ft. The width is 40 ft. If the volume of the pool is 2,500 ft³, which equation below could be used to find the depth of the pool? A.(22 + 40)x = 2500 B.22 + 40 + x = 2500 C.66x = 2500 D.22 • 40 • x = 2500

Answer 1

The volume of any rectangular prism is:

V=xyz, where x, y, and z are the dimensions of the prism.

In this case we are given the volume and two dimensions.

22(40)x=2500   (answer D.)
