Question

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. 40 ft³
B. 80 ft³
C. 120 ft³
D. 160 ft³

Answer 1

C. 120 ft^3

Explanation:

Area of rectangular prism is Length * Width * Height.

4 * 5 * 2 = 40

It was filled 3 times so multiply 40 by 30

40 * 30 = 120 ft^3
