Chapter 1: Problem 66

A swimming pool is 50 meters long, 19.5 meters wide, and 3 meters deep. Use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism to find the volume of water in the pool. The formula is the length times the width times the height.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The volume of the swimming pool is 2925 cubic meters.

Step by step solution

01

Identify Given Values

The given values from the exercise are Length (L) = 50 m, Width (W) = 19.5 m and Height (H) = 3 m. These values will be plugged into the formula for volume of a rectangular prism.
02

Apply the Formula

The formula for finding the volume V of a rectangular prism is V = L x W x H. Substituting the given values gives V = 50 m x 19.5 m x 3 m.
03

Calculate the Volume

After substituting the values into the formula, we then compute the multiplication to give us the volume. Thus, V = 2925 cubic meters.
