A pool in the shape of a rectangular prism has a
width of 8
1
2
feet (ft), a length of 12 ft, and a depth
of 8 ft.
What is the volume of the pool?
A 102 ft3
B 532 ft3
C 816 ft3
D 1,728 ft
the answer is c
volume = width * depth * length
The depth is 8 1/2 Scott it think
I need help on this too
To find the volume of the pool, we multiply the width, length, and depth of the pool.
Given:
Width = 8 1/2 ft
Length = 12 ft
Depth = 8 ft
To multiply mixed numbers, we need to convert them into improper fractions first. The width can be written as 17/2 ft.
Now, let's calculate the volume:
Volume = Width x Length x Depth
= 17/2 ft x 12 ft x 8 ft
To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators (top numbers) together and the denominators (bottom numbers) together.
Volume = (17/2) ft x 12 ft x 8 ft
= (17 x 12 x 8) / (2) ft^3
= 1632 ft^3 / 2 ft^3
= 816 ft^3
Therefore, the volume of the pool is 816 ft^3.
The correct answer is C) 816 ft^3.
