    What is the volume of swimming pool with the following dimensions : depth = 5 ft, width=50 ft. and length = 100 ft?

    • 187,000 gals

    • 120,000 gals

    • 105,000 gals

    • 169,000 gals

    Correct Answer
    A. 187,000 gals
    Explanation
    The volume of a rectangular swimming pool can be calculated by multiplying its length, width, and depth. In this case, the length is 100 ft, the width is 50 ft, and the depth is 5 ft. So, the volume of the swimming pool is 100 ft * 50 ft * 5 ft = 25000 cubic ft. To convert this volume into gallons, we need to multiply it by 7.48 (since 1 cubic ft is approximately equal to 7.48 gallons). Therefore, the volume of the swimming pool is 25000 cubic ft * 7.48 gallons/cubic ft = 187,000 gals.
