Question 1154321

A rectangular swimming pool is 8.0 m long. Each cubic metre of water added to the pool increases the depth by 32 mm. 

Volume of water 1 cu.m
length of pool = 8.0 m
height per  cu.m of water = 0.032 m

Volume = L * W * h

1 = 8* w * 0.032

w= 1/(8*032)

 width of the pool = 1.9 m 


(b) How much water is needed to fill the pool to a depth of 2.3 m? 
Round to the nearest whole. 

V = L * W * h
V=  8* 1.9 *2.3
34.96 ~ 35m^3
