A typical stone on the lowest level of the great pyramid in Egypt was a rectangular prism 5 feet long by 5 feet 5 feet high by 6 feet deep and weighted 15 tons. What was the volume of the average stone? How much did one cubic foot of this stone weight?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The Donaldson swimming pool has a volume of 15 meters * 8 meters * 3 meters, which equals 360 cubic meters. Therefore, it can hold 360 cubic meters of water.
To find out how many cubic meters of water Donaldson's swimming pool will hold, we have to calculate the volume of the pool. The volume of a rectangular prism (which is a good model for this swimming pool) is found by multiplying the length by the width by the height. In this case, the length is 15 meters, the width is 8 meters, and the depth (which is effectively the height for this calculation) is 3 meters.
So, the calculation is: 15 meters * 8 meters * 3 meters = 360 cubic meters.
Therefore, Donaldson's swimming pool will hold 360 cubic meters of water when filled.
