To determine how much water the pool can hold, you need to calculate its volume. The volume \( V \) of a rectangular prism (which is the shape of the pool) can be found using the formula:
\[ V = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{depth} \]
Plugging in the given dimensions:
\[ V = 32 \, \text{feet} \times 18 \, \text{feet} \times 6 \, \text{feet} \]
\[ V = 32 \times 18 \times 6 \]
First, calculate \( 32 \times 18 \):
\[ 32 \times 18 = 576 \]
Then, multiply the result by 6:
\[ 576 \times 6 = 3,456 \]
So, the pool can hold:
\[ 3,456 \, \text{cubic feet} \]
Therefore, the correct answer is:
\[ \text{3,456 cubic feet} \]
\[ V = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{depth} \]
Plugging in the given dimensions:
\[ V = 32 \, \text{feet} \times 18 \, \text{feet} \times 6 \, \text{feet} \]
\[ V = 32 \times 18 \times 6 \]
First, calculate \( 32 \times 18 \):
\[ 32 \times 18 = 576 \]
Then, multiply the result by 6:
\[ 576 \times 6 = 3,456 \]
So, the pool can hold:
\[ 3,456 \, \text{cubic feet} \]
Therefore, the correct answer is:
\[ \text{3,456 cubic feet} \]
