The length of the pool is 36 feet.
To find the length, we use the formula for volume of a rectangular prism: length x width x depth = volume.
Substituting the given values, we get:
length x 20 feet x 9 feet = 7200 ft3
Simplifying:
length x 180 = 7200
length = 7200/180
length = 40
Therefore, the length of the pool is 40 feet.
