Question

how deep is a rectangular swimming pool if its volume is 64 000 litres , its length 8 metres and its width 6 metres? Assume the pool has the same depth right through.

Answer 1

volume of pool=64000 litres

length=8m

width=6m

depth (h)=?

volume of cuboid (pool)

=l×b×h

64000 =8×6×h

$\frac{64000}{8 \times 6}$

1333.3 =h

Answer 2

Answer:

Depth of the swimming pool = 1.3333 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula required:

One cubic metre of space holds 1000 litres of water.

So, if the volume of water contained in swimming pool is 64000 litres, then volume of the rectangular pool will be 64 metre cube.

Volume of cuboid (V) = l*b*h = 64 m^3

Given details:

l is the length of the pool = 8m

b is breath of the pool = 6m

h is the height of the pool

Solution:

Height or depth of the pool = h = V/l*b

= 64/8*6

= 1.3333 m
