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
