A swimming pool has a length of 50 m and a width of 36 m.  The pool's depth is 1 m at the shallow end and gradually increases to 2.5 m at the deep end. Calculate the capacity of the pool in litres. PLease help me as soon as possible! Just need an answer!

mayankdevnani · Answer

one end is 1.5 meter deeper than the other end, what we really want to know is the average depth.

anonymous · Answer

we want to know the capacity of the pool

mayankdevnani · Answer

then,
The average depth of water in the pool = depth at shallow end + depth at deep end/2 = (1 + 2.5)/2 = 1.75 m. So now that we have an average depth of water in the pool, the volume of water in the pool = width times length time average depth.

@pourushgupta          plz wait...

mayankdevnani · Answer

Btw, the average depth of water can't be 3.5 m.  The depth of water at one end is 1 m and the other end is 2.5 m, and the depth gradually slopes from 1 m deep to 2.5 m deep.

@mayankdevnani        the answer is 31500* 1000litres

mayankdevnani · Answer

3150 cubic meters
1 cubic meter=1000 liters, so it would be 3,150,000 liter?? Because you multiply it by 1000..
