Answer:
the height of the water in the pool is 2m
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem bothers on the mensuration of solids.
Given data
Volume of pool v= 270m³
Base length l= 15m
Base width b= 9m
Height h=?
The pool takes the shape of a rectangular prism
The expression for the volume of the pool is
v= l*b*h
Substituting our given data we have
270= 15*9*h
270= 135h
h= 270/135
h= 2
Therefore the height h =2m
Answer: 2m
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, the correct question is:
A pool is filled with 270 cubic meters of water. The base of the pool is 15m long and 9m wide. What is the height of the water in the pool?
So to solve this we have to apply the next formula: (since the pool is a rectangular prism)
Volume of a rectangular prism = length x width x height
Replacing with the values given and solving for h (height)
270 = 15 x 9 x h
270 = (135)h
270/135 =h
2 =h
h = 2m
