a rectangular pool has a volume of 375 m.The pool is 10 m long and 5m wide, how deep is the pool
Volume divided by area of pool will give the height of water/pool.
Volume of pool = 375 m³
Area of pool is 10m*5m=50m².
Can you take it from here?
75 m
To find the depth of the pool, we need to rearrange the formula for volume of a rectangular prism. The volume (V) of a rectangular prism is given by the formula:
V = length × width × depth
We are given the volume of the pool (V = 375 m³), the length (l = 10 m), and the width (w = 5 m).
Substituting the known values into the formula, we get:
375 m³ = 10 m × 5 m × depth
Now, we can solve for the depth.
Divide both sides of the equation by (10 m × 5 m):
375 m³ / (10 m × 5 m) = depth
Simplifying the equation:
375 m³ / 50 m² = depth
375 / 50 = depth
Depth = 7.5 m
Therefore, the depth of the pool is 7.5 meters.
