Answer:

360 m³

Explanation:

The swimming pool can be modeled as a rectangular prism with the following dimensions:

  • length = 12 m
  • width = 6 m
  • height = 5 m

To find how much water is needed to fill the pool, calculate the volume of the rectangular prism using the given dimensions:


\begin{aligned}\textsf{Volume of a rectangular prism} & = \sf length * width * height\\\implies \textsf{Volume of pool} & = \sf 12 * 6 * 5 \\& = \sf 72 * 5\\& = \sf 360 \:\: m^3\end{aligned}

Therefore, 360 m³ of water is needed to fill the swimming pool.

Answer:


\boxed {360 m^(3)}

Explanation:

Water needed to fill the pool = volume of pool

Volume :

  • Volume = Length × Width × Height
  • Volume = 12 m × 6 m × 5 m
  • Volume = 12 m x 30 m²
  • Volume = 360 m³

Hence, 360 m³ of water has to be filled.
