Question

Please Help! Explain if possible :-)
A child’s pool is in the shape of a rectangular prism with a height of 2 ft and a base that is 4 ft wide by 5 ft long.

During the course of the summer, the child’s pool needed to be filled 3 times.

How many cubic feet of water were needed to fill the pool during the summer?

A. 40ft³
B. 80ft³
C. 120ft³
D. 160ft³

Answer 1

I got C for this one...........

Answer 2

Answer: C. $120\ ft^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given dimensions of pool :-

Length (l)= 5 ft.

Width (w)= 4 ft.

Height (h)= 2 ft.

The volume of rectangular prism is given by :-

$\text{V}=lwh$

Then, the volume of swimming pool is given by :_

$\text{V}=5\times4\times2=40\ ft^3$

Since, during summer, the child’s pool needed to be filled 3 times.

Therefore, The amount of  water were needed to fill the pool during the summer =$3\times40=120\ ft^3$
