Question

part b
the hotel is filling the pool and releases 5,000 cubic feet of water into the pool. to the nearest tenth of a foot, what is the height, x, of the water in the rectangular section of the pool?
type your answer in the box. use numerals instead of words.
the water will be approximately feet high in the rectangular part of the pool.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall volume formula

$V = l\times w\times h$. Assume base - area of rectangular part is $A$. Here $V = 5000$ cubic feet and $V=A\times x$, so $x=\frac{V}{A}$. But if we assume the base - area $A = 1000$ square feet (not given in problem, assume for example).
$x=\frac{5000}{1000}$

Step2: Calculate height

$x = 5.0$ feet

Answer:

5.0
