The length of a swimming pool is 22 ft. The width is 40 ft. If the volume of the pool is 2,500 ft³, which equation below could be used to find the depth of the pool?

L=Lenght

W=Width

D=Depth

V=Volume

V=W*L*D

W*L=A

A=Area of a pool

V=A*D Diwide with A

V/A=D

D=V/A

In this case:

A=L*W

A=22*40

A=880 ft^2

D=V/A=2500/880= 2.8409 ft

the 5 is good

Uh what?

say what

To find the depth of the pool, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:

Volume = Length × Width × Depth

Given that the volume of the pool is 2,500 ft³, we can substitute the known values into the formula:

2,500 = 22 × 40 × Depth

Simplifying the equation, we get:

2,500 = 880 × Depth

Now, we need to isolate Depth on one side of the equation. To do this, divide both sides of the equation by 880:

2,500 ÷ 880 = Depth

Simplifying further, we get:

2.84 ≈ Depth

Therefore, the equation that could be used to find the depth of the pool is:

Depth = 2,500 ÷ (22 × 40)
or
Depth ≈ 2.84
