A rectangular pool has a depth of 8 feet and a width of 11 feet. If it holds 1,056 cubic feet og water, what is the length of the pool?

Answer 1

The pool would be a rectangular prism. To find the volume of a prism, you would multiply the length by the width and by the height (depth)or:

V = L * w * h

For this problem:

1056 = L * 11 * 8

1056 = L * 88

1056/88 = L * 88/88

12 feet = Length
