A swimming pool is 0.6m deep, 1.8m, 2m long.
A. What is the volume of the pool in cubic meters?
B. How many liters of water can the pool hold?
C. What is the weight of the water in kilograms?
A rather small pool,
volume
= (.6)(1.8)(2) m^3 = 2.16 m^3
= 2160 L
= 2160 kg
Isn't the metric system great ?
Yes. Thanks for your help!
To find the volume of the swimming pool, we need to multiply its dimensions together (length × width × depth).
A. The volume of the pool in cubic meters can be calculated as follows:
Volume = length × width × depth
Volume = 1.8m × 2m × 0.6m
Volume = 2.16 cubic meters
So, the volume of the pool is 2.16 cubic meters.
To find the number of liters of water the pool can hold, we need to convert the volume from cubic meters to liters.
1 cubic meter is equal to 1000 liters. Therefore,
B. The volume in liters = volume in cubic meters × 1000
Volume in liters = 2.16 cubic meters × 1000
Volume in liters = 2160 liters
So, the pool can hold 2160 liters of water.
To find the weight of the water in kilograms, we need to use the density of water, which is approximately 1000 kg/m³.
C. Weight of the water = volume in cubic meters × density of water
Weight of the water = 2.16 cubic meters × 1000 kg/m³
Weight of the water = 2160 kg
So, the weight of the water in the pool is 2160 kilograms.
