Question

The Gray family is putting in a pool in the shape of a rectangular prism. The first plan shows a pool that is 15 feet long, 12 feet wide, and 5 feet deep. The second plan shows a pool with the same length and width, but a depth of 7 feet. How much more water is needed to fill the second pool if both pools are filled to the top?

Solution

Step 1
1 of 2

B=a×bB=a\times b

B=15×12B=15\times 12

B=180ft2B=180 ft^{2}

V1=B×h1V_{1}=B\times h_{1}

V1=180×5V_{1}=180\times 5

V1=900ft3V_{1}=900ft^{3}

V2=B×h2V_{2}=B\times h_{2}

V2=180×7V_{2}=180\times 7

V2=1260ft3V_{2}=1260ft^{3}

V2V1=1260900=360ft3V_{2}-V_{1}=1260-900=360ft^{3}

Use the formula for the volume of a prism

V=B×hV=B\times h

BB- area of a base(rectangle, 15 ft long and 12 ft wide)

h1h_{1}- height of the prism( 5ft )

h2h_{2}- height of the prism( 7ft )
