Question

Evaluate the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism to solve the problem.

 

Volume = length times width times h. A swimming pool has a height of 3 meters, width of 25 meters, and length of 50 meters.

West junior High needs to fill its swimming pool with water. Determine the amount of water it needs by finding the volume of the pool. Use the drop-down menus to complete the statements.

First, write the
.
Next, use parentheses when you substitute
for l,w, and h.
Now, simplify by
50, 25, and 3.
The volume of the pool is
m3.

Answer 1

To determine the volume of the swimming pool using the provided formula \( \text{Volume} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height} \), follow these steps:

1. **First, write the formula:**
\[
\text{Volume} = l \times w \times h
\]

2. **Next, use parentheses when you substitute for \( l \), \( w \), and \( h \):**
\[
\text{Volume} = (50) \times (25) \times (3)
\]

3. **Now, simplify by multiplying 50, 25, and 3:**
\[
\text{Volume} = 50 \times 25 \times 3
\]

First, calculate \( 50 \times 25 \):
\[
50 \times 25 = 1250
\]

Now multiply the result by 3:
\[
1250 \times 3 = 3750
\]

The volume of the pool is \( 3750 \, \text{m}^3 \).

**Final statements completion:**
- The volume of the pool is **3750 m³**.
