To find the volume of a rectangular prism (in this case, the swimming pool), you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Volume} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{depth} \]

In this case, the dimensions of the pool are:

  • Length = 12 feet
  • Width = 9 feet
  • Depth = 7 feet

Now, substituting in the values:

\[ \text{Volume} = 12 , \text{feet} \times 9 , \text{feet} \times 7 , \text{feet} \]

Calculating step by step:

  1. Multiply the length and width: \[ 12 \times 9 = 108 , \text{square feet} \]

  2. Now, multiply that result by the depth: \[ 108 \times 7 = 756 , \text{cubic feet} \]

So, the volume of the pool is 756 cubic feet.

The correct response is: 756 cubic feet.
