mitzi has a rectangular swimming pool. she fills it with water to a depth of 5 feet. the water has a volume of 1200 cubic feet. draw a rectangle that represents the possible dimensions of the swimming pool
Accepted Solution
A:
To figure out the size of a rectangle that would represent the swimming pool, you will use the formula for volume of a rectangle or prism to solve for the area of the base.
V = Bh 1200 = 5B B = 240 square feet
To get an area of 240 ft.², you could use the dimensions 10' x 24'. Another possibility would be 8' x 30'.
