Answer:

The pool is 8 feet deep

Explanation:

Holding means the area, and we know that area can be found using;

-> length * width * height

or

-> base * height

[] The base is length times width

base * height = 1,440

(15 * 12) * height = 1,440

(180) * height = 1,440

height =
(1440)/(180)

height = 8 feet

Have a nice day!
