Question

A flat bottom reflecting pool has length 30 yards, width 10 yards and depth 0.3 yards . Find the surface area of the pool and the volume of water it holds.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of the object above can be calculated by summing up all the areas of the surfaces. Therefore, we will have 5 surfaces with rectangles as the shape. The volume would be the product of the length, width and the depth. We calculate as follows:

SA = 2(depth)(length) + 2(depth)(width) + (width)(length)

SA = 324 yd^2

VOlume = 30x10x.3

Volume = 90 yd^3
