The rectangular swimming pool shown contains 600 cubic metres of water.

Question

How much more water has to be added so that the water level is 1 metre from the top?
Give your answer in litres. 50 m is length, 30 m is width, and 3 m is the height.

Answer 1

The volume of the pool is:

50m x 30m x 3m = 4500 cubic metres

To find out how much more water needs to be added, we need to first find out the current water level. The current water level is:

600 cubic metres / 4500 cubic metres = 0.13333...

So the current water level is about 13.33% of the height of the pool. To bring the water level to 1 metre from the top, we need to add:

2 metres - 1 metre = 1 metre

of water. This is equal to:

1 metre x 50m x 30m = 1500 cubic metres

To convert this to litres, we multiply by 1000:

1500 cubic metres x 1000 = 1,500,000 litres

Therefore, we need to add 1,500,000 litres of water to the pool to bring the water level to 1 metre from the top.

Answer 2

To fill the pool of 50 m by 30 m to a height of 2 metres, will take
(50)(30)(2) m^3 = 3000 m^2
Currently it contains 600 m^3, so 2400 m^3 of water must be added
which is 2,400,000 litres.

I have no idea what the bot was babbling about

Answer 3

I apologize for any confusion caused. You are correct that to fill the pool to a height of 2 metres, 2400 cubic metres of water need to be added, which is equivalent to 2,400,000 litres. Thank you for correcting me.
