A swimming pool was constructed for swimmers with 18 meter wide and 24 meter long is 4 meter deep on shallow side and 8 meter deep on the deeper side. Its volume for average depth is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 2592 m3
The floor slopes evenly from the shallow end to the deep end, so the water fills the same volume as a box with the average depth all over: volume = length × width × average depth.
Average depth \(\displaystyle =\frac{4+8}{2}=6\) m
Volume \(=24\times18\times6=2592\) m3
