Question

6. At the local community center, they've decided to build a pool in the

shape of a rectangular prism. The length of the pool is 27 feet and the
depth is 12 feet. Also, the area of the base of the pool must be 864 square
feet. What is the width of the pool?

32 feet

64 feet

13.7 feet

123 feet

Answer 1

width = 32 ft

Explanation:

Divide the base area (864 ft^2) by the length (27 ft). We don't need to know the depth of the pool to solve this problem.

864 ft^2

------------- = width = 32 ft

27 ft
