Question

A rectangular pool is drained of water until it is only half full.

If the length of the pool is 5.5m,
the breadth is 12m and the height is 18m, find the volume of water drained in liters.

Answer 1

`Volume = 594m^3`

Explanation:

Given

`Length = 5.5m`

`Breadth = 12m`

`Height =18m`

Required

The volume when it is half full

The height, when half full is:

`h = 0.5 *Height`

`h = 0.5 *18m`

`h = 9m`

So:

The volume is:

`Volume = Length * Breadth*h`

`Volume = 5.5m * 12m * 9m`

`Volume = 594m^3`
