the volume of a swimming pool is 2808 buic feet. assuming the pool is 18 feet long and 12 feet deep, find its width.
V = lwd Volume = length * width * depth
We know its length and depth so we must solve for width:
w= V / ld
Now, we can fill in values:
w= 2808 ft^3 / (18 ft * 12 ft)
w= 2808 ft^3 / 216 ft^2
w = 13 ft
