The portion of a swimming pool that is below the full water line measures 12 feet by 30 feet by 6 feet deep. what is the volume of the water in the swimming pool when it is fully, expressed in cubic yards? (1 cu yd= 27 cu ft )
12 * 30 * 6 = 2160 cu ft
2160 / 27 = ?______ cu yd
80cu yd
To find the volume of the water in the swimming pool, we need to calculate the volume of the portion below the full water line and convert it to cubic yards.
The dimensions given for the portion below the water line are: length = 12 feet, width = 30 feet, and depth = 6 feet.
To find the volume in cubic feet, we can use the formula: volume = length × width × depth.
Substituting the given values, we get: volume = 12 feet × 30 feet × 6 feet = 2160 cubic feet.
Now, to convert cubic feet to cubic yards, we need to use the conversion factor: 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet.
Dividing the volume in cubic feet by the conversion factor, we get: volume in cubic yards = 2160 cubic feet / 27 cubic feet = 80 cubic yards.
Therefore, the volume of the water in the swimming pool when it is fully is 80 cubic yards.
