Question

A swimming pool has surface area 300m2 the swimming pool is a prism of depth 100cm.

Work out the volume give your answer in m3.

Answer 1

l*w*h =300m2, l*w= 300/1.1 (110cm-> 1.1m) =272.73m2 , base area *h = volume, 272.73*1.1 =300m3
l*w*h =300m2

Answer 2

The volume of the swimming pool is calculated as: Volume = 300 m²

What is the volume of the swimming pool?

The swimming pool is in the shape of a cuboid and as such the formula for the volume is:

Volume = Surface area * depth

We are given:

Surface area = 300 m²

Depth = 100 cm = 1 m

Thus:

Volume = 300 * 1

Volume = 300 m²
