For a rectangular pool with a fixed area, the area \( A \) is given by the formula:
\[
A = \text{length} \times \text{width}
\]
In this situation, if we let \( x \) represent the length and \( y \) represent the width of the pool, and given that the area is fixed at 512 square feet, we have:
\[
x \cdot y = 512
\]
Thus, the correct equation that represents this situation is:
\[
xy = 512
\]
So, the response is **xy = 512**.
\[
A = \text{length} \times \text{width}
