an olympic sized swimming pool is 50 m by length and 25m wide, the water is 2 m deep. calculate the volume of water the pool holds in cubic metres
To calculate the volume of the swimming pool, we need to use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism: length x width x height.
Given:
Length = 50 m
Width = 25 m
Height (depth of water) = 2 m
Volume = 50 m x 25 m x 2 m
Volume = 2500 cubic meters
Therefore, the Olympic-sized swimming pool holds 2500 cubic meters of water.
