Question

A swimming pool is a rectangular prism. The pool is 36 feet long and 20 feet wide. What is the total amount of water, in cubic feet, needed to fill the pool to a depth of 4feet?

Answer 1

280ft3

Explanation:

Answer 2

`2880\ ft^(3)`

Explanation:

The computation of the total amount of water needed could be determined by using the volume formula which is shown below:

`Volume = L * W * D`

where

L = length,

W = width,

and D = depth.

Now putting the values to the above formula

`Volume = (36\ ft) * (20\ ft) * (4\ ft) \\\\= 2880\ ft^(3)`

Therefore, the total amount of water needed is
`2880\ ft^(3)`

We simply applied the above formula
