Simple volume equation: V=bwh
b=36, w=20, h=4
Just multiply them together to get 2,880.
So the answer is 2,880 cubic feet of water
Hope this helped :)

Answer:

2880 cubic feet

Explanation:

A swimming pool is shaped like a right rectangular prism. The pool is 36ft long and 20ft wide. the height of the pool is 4 feet

To get the total amount of water , we need to find the volume

Volume of a pool = length * width * height

Length = 36ft

width = 20ft

height = 4ft

Volume of the pool = 36* 20 * 4= 2880 cubic feet
