Question

The pool Aidan uses has a volume of 500 m3. If the pool is 25 m long x 2 m deep, what is the width of the pool?

Answer 1

Volume of a rectangular prism=long x width x deep
volume of this pool=long x width x deep

Data:
long=25 m
deep=2 m
volume=500 m³

Therefore:
500 m³=(25 m)(width)(2 m)
500 m³=50 m² (width)
width=500 m³/50 m²
width=10 m

Answer: the width of the pool will be 10 m
