Kenney High School’s swimming pool is 25 yards long. The pool has 8 lanes, each of
which is 3 yards wide. The pool is filled to a depth of 6 feet.
a. What are the length and width of the pool in terms of feet? (4 points)
Length: __________ ft.
Width: __________ ft.
b. How many cubic feet of water are in the pool? (3 points)
Volume: __________ ft3
c. If one cubic foot contains about 7.5 gallons, how many gallons of water are in
the pool? (3 points)
Water: __________ gallons

Answer:

Length = 75 ft

Width = 72 feet

Volume = 32,400 ft3

Water is around 242,998 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Just convert the yards to feet

25 yards long = 75 ft in length

8 lanes * 3 yards wide = 24 yards = 72 feet wide

And then for the volume, since it's a swimming pool, the formula will be l*w*h, and if we plug in the numbers (75 * 72 * 6 (it's 6 because they said the depth was six and in a pool the depth = height)) and that'll equal 32,400 ft to the third power

For the water, we just have to multiply the volume by 7.5 gallons by converting 7.5 gallons to feet, and then multiplying that by the volume, and then converting that to feet, and the final answer is about 242,998 gallons

Answer:

Length; 75 ft  

Width; 72 feet  

Volume; 32,400  

Water is around 243k gallons
