Question

a pool shaped like a rectangle prism is 40 feet long, 20 feet wide, and 4 deep. attached to the side of the pool is a hot tub with 1/4 the volume of the pool. what is the total volume of the pool and hot tub?

Answer 1

Lets start with finding the volume of the pool

The formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is

V=l*w*h where l=length w=width and h=height
plug in the data we know
V=40*20*4
V=3200ft³

Now for the hot tub.

3200ft³*1/4=800ft³

Add the volumes together
3200+800=4000ft³

Answer=4000ft³
