Question

Community center has an L shaped swimming pool that is 10 feet deep. What is the volume of the pool

1200

1040

640

880

Answer 1

volume = width * length * height
In order to find this split the pool into two separate rectangular prisms.
The first one's measurements are 4ftx16ftx10ft
4*16*10 = 640
the next prism is 4ftx10ftx10ft
4*10*10 = 400
640+400= 1040 cubic feet

Answer 2

The total volume of pool is:

1040 cubic ft.

Explanation:

We know that the total volume of the pool is the sum of the volume of two rectangular prism.

1. one is a rectangular prism with dimensions 20ft.×10ft.×4ft.
2. and the other rectangular prism has dimensions: 6ft.×4ft.×10ft.

Hence, the volume of first rectangular prism is:

20×10×4=800 cubic ft.

Volume of second rectangular prism is:

6×4×10=240 cubic ft.

Hence, total volume of pool is:

800+240=1040 cubic ft.
