Answer:
The area of the pool is [tex]864\ ft^2[/tex]
The pool's width is 36 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume and Area
The volume of a rectangular pool is the product of the pool's area and depth. We are given the pool's depth d=12 feet and the pool's volume V=10368 [tex]ft^3[/tex]
Since:
[tex]V= d*A[/tex]
Solving for A:
[tex]\displaystyle A=\frac{V}{d}=\frac{10368}{12}=864\ ft^2[/tex]
The area of the pool is [tex]864\ ft^2[/tex]
Now we calculate the pool's width, knowing the area is the product of the pool's length and width. Knowing the length is L=24 ft:
[tex]A=L*W[/tex]
Solve for W:
[tex]\displaystyle W=\frac{A}{L}=\frac{864}{24}=36[/tex]
The pool's width is 36 ft
