To find the volume of the rectangular prism that represents the scuba diving lagoon, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:
\[ \text{Volume} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} \times \text{Depth} \]
Given the dimensions:
- Length = 50 feet
- Width = 20 feet
- Depth = 25 feet
Now, we plug in the values:
\[ \text{Volume} = 50 , \text{feet} \times 20 , \text{feet} \times 25 , \text{feet} \]
Calculating this step-by-step:
- Multiply the length and width:
\[ 50 \times 20 = 1000 , \text{square feet} \]
- Now multiply the result by the depth:
\[ 1000 , \text{square feet} \times 25 , \text{feet} = 25000 , \text{cubic feet} \]
Thus, the lagoon holds 25,000 cubic feet of water.
