Question 833169: a swimming pool is 30 m long and 10 m wide. the depth of water increases uniformly from 1m to 3m. find the volume of the water in the pool. (hint:think of the cross section of the pool) Answer by LinnW(1048) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! One can think of the cross section of the pool as
a rectangle 1m by 30m over a triangle that is
30m across the top with a depth at one end of 2m.
So the cross sectional area is
(1 * 30) + 1/2(2 * 30) = 2 * 30 = 60
Now if we multiply 60 x 10 we will find we have
