A swimming pool shaped like a rectangular prism measures 12 feet deep, 26 feet long, and 14 feet wide. Determine the volume, V = lwh, of the pool in cubic meters. Round the answer to the nearest cubic meter. (1 foot = 0.305 meter)
4,368 cubic meters
1,332 cubic meters
406 cubic meters
124 cubic meters
To determine the volume of the swimming pool in cubic meters, we need to convert the dimensions from feet to meters.
The depth of the pool is 12 feet, so in meters it would be 12 * 0.305 = 3.66 meters.
The length of the pool is 26 feet, so in meters it would be 26 * 0.305 = 7.93 meters.
The width of the pool is 14 feet, so in meters it would be 14 * 0.305 = 4.27 meters.
Now we can calculate the volume by multiplying the length, width, and depth.
V = 7.93 * 4.27 * 3.66 = 123.98442 cubic meters
Rounding to the nearest cubic meter, the volume of the pool is approximately 124 cubic meters. Answer: \boxed{124 \text{ cubic meters}}.
