Explanation:

Given that,

The depth of the pool is, h = 5 feet

Volume of the pool, V = 1200 cubic feet

We need to find the possible values for the dimensions of the pool. We know that the volume of a rectangle is given by :


V=lbh

Where

l and b are length and breadth

So,


lb=(V)/(h)\\\\lb=(1200)/(5)\\\\lb=240

The first possibillity for dimension is (10×24). Another can be (12×20).
