an above-ground swimming pool is in the shape of a regular hexagonal prism.
the pool is 3 meters high and holds 66 cubic meters of water.
another pool has a base with the same shape and size, but is 5 meters high.
how much water will this pool hold? explain
:
There is a direct relationship between the height and the volume
3%2F5 = 66%2Fv
Cross multiply
3v = 5*66
v = 330%2F3
v = 110 cu meters of water
