Question

The Torrence family has a rectangular, in-ground pool in their yard. It holds 1700 ft of water. If it is 17 ft wide and 4 ft deep,

what is the length of the pool

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

25 ft

Explanation:

The volume is given by the formula ...

V = LWD . . . . . the product of length, width, depth

Solving for L, we have ...

L = V/(WD) = (1700 ft³)/((17 ft)(4 ft)) = 100/4 ft = 25 ft

The length of the pool is 25 ft.
