Question

Calculate the volume of a swimming pool that has the dimensions of 12.4 m x 11.3 m x 5.2 m. Round to the correct number of significant figures.

a) 739.6 m³
b) 745.84 m³
c) 752.1 m³
d) 758.4 m³

Answer 1

The volume of the swimming pool is approximately 739.6 m³.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the volume of a swimming pool, we multiply the length by the width by the depth of the pool.

Given:
Length = 12.4 m,
Width = 11.3 m,
Depth = 5.2 m

Volume = Length x Width x Depth

Volume = 12.4 m x 11.3 m x 5.2 m

Volume = 731.904 m³

Rounding to the correct number of significant figures, the volume of the swimming pool is approximately 739.6 m³ (Option A).
