Question

A rectangular swimming pool can hold 1408 cubic feet of water. the pool is 22 feet long and has a depth of 4 feet. what is the width of the pool?

a. 16 ft
b. 64 ft
c. 88 ft
d. 352 ft

Answer 1

the width of the pool is 16ft because 22*4*16=1408

Answer 2

Depth is the same thing as height for a pool. Volume is l*w*h.
The total amount of water a pool can hold is the volume.
so take the total volume (1408) and divide it by 22 and 4.
1408/4/22=16
The width is 16 ft.
