Question

Imagine that you have a rectangular swimming pool, but you have no idea how deep it is. You

know that the pool has a volume of 216 m3
. You measured the dimensions of the pool and
found that it is 15 m long and 6 m wide.
A. Calculate the depth of the pool. Show your work.

Answer 1

To calculate the volume of any rectangular shape,
We can simply multiply length to wide and to depth.
Let d be the depth.
15 x 6 x d = 216
d = 216 / 15 / 6
d = 2.4
Therefore the depth is 2.4m
