Question

Jethro wants a swimming pool in his backyard, so he digs a rectangular hole with dimensions 40 feet long, 20 feet wide, and 5 feet deep. How many cubic feet of water will the pool hold?

65
8000
4000
40,000

Answer 1

Based on the given problem above, since the whole is rectangular, this means, we are going to find the volume of the rectangular hole. To find the volume of a rectangular prism, we simply multiply the length, width and the height.
So, 40*20*5 and the answer would be 4000. Therefore, the pool can hold 4,000 cubic feet of water. Hope this answer helps.
