Answer 1

depth of the pool: 8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

rectangular prism volume = length * breath * height

Given:

• length = 15 feet

• breadth = 12 feet

using this formula:

`\sf volume = length * breath * height`

`\sf 1440 = 15 * 12 * height`

`\sf height * 180 = 1440`

`\sf height = (1440)/(180)`

`\sf height = 8 ft`
