Q. How deep is a rectangular pool that is 24ft. long and 15ft. wide and has a volume of 1,620 cubic feet?
Identify dimensions and volume: Identify the known dimensions and the volume of the pool.Length = 24 ft, Width = 15 ft, Volume = 1620 cubic ft.We need to find the depth (height) of the pool using the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism: Volume = Length × Width × Height.
Rearrange formula for Height: Rearrange the formula to solve for Height.Height=Length×WidthVolumeCalculate Height=24×151620
Calculate Height: Perform the multiplication and division to find the Height.Height = 3601620Height = 4.5 ft
