You have just built a swimming pool measuring 12 feet width by 28 feet length and 12.5 feet depth. how much water will it take to fill it to a depth of 8 ft
Assuming that the pool has a flat bottom, the volume of water is
V=length*width*height
=28*12*8 cubic feet
To calculate the amount of water needed to fill the pool to a depth of 8 feet, you will need to find the volume of the pool. The formula to calculate the volume of a rectangular prism (which applies to the shape of the pool) is as follows:
Volume = Length × Width × Depth
Given:
Length = 28 feet
Width = 12 feet
Depth = 8 feet (the desired depth)
Using the given values, substitute them into the formula to find the volume:
Volume = 28 ft × 12 ft × 8 ft
Volume = 2688 cubic feet
Therefore, it will take 2688 cubic feet of water to fill the pool to a depth of 8 feet.
