Question

The dimensions of the Surf City Community Pool are shown below.

How many cubic meters of water are needed to fill the entire pool?

A: 210

B: 525​

C: 735​

D: 1050

Answer 1

C: 735

Explanation:

We can split the pool into two 3D shapes.

The first rectangular prism on the left would equal 7 * 5 * 15 = 525 cubic meters

The second rectangular prism on the right would equal 7 * 2 * 15 =210 cubic meters.

In total, 525 + 210 = 735 cubic meters
