Question

PLEASE HELP Adam has a rectangular swimming pool. He fills it with water to a depth of 5 feet. The water has a VOLUME of 1200 cubic feet.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The depth of the pool is, h = 5 feet

Volume of the pool, V = 1200 cubic feet

We need to find the possible values for the dimensions of the pool. We know that the volume of a rectangle is given by :

$V=lbh$

Where

l and b are length and breadth

So,

$lb=\dfrac{V}{h}\\\\lb=\dfrac{1200}{5}\\\\lb=240$

The first possibillity for dimension is (10×24). Another can be (12×20).
