anonymous · Answer

ok its the dogs pool. First I'll give you the question then my part

anonymous · Answer

ok?

anonymous · Answer

After you present the plans to the Noethers, Mrs. Noether loves your drawing so much that she wants you to create a similar pool for the family dogs. She wants the dimensions of this pool to be one over four the dimensions of the family pool.

Determine the following:

The dimensions for the dog pool that fit the above specifications

anonymous · Answer

The family pool is 6 x 20 x 20

anonymous · Answer

The dogs dimensions are 1.5x 5x5 = 37.5 volume

anonymous · Answer

My teacher said my water volume is wrong

anonymous · Answer

Think about what is the Length, Width, and then the Depth of the water.  <-- is what she said but I dont understand

anonymous · Answer

6 x 20 x 20
this is given dimensions right?

anonymous · Answer

sorry for delay :(

anonymous · Answer

yes those are my dimensions for the family pool

anonymous · Answer

so the volume of the family pool is obviously 2400 cubic feet.. she said that is wrong? :O

anonymous · Answer

No about the dog pool she said its wrong. Idk how

anonymous · Answer

well.. they did mention in the problem, that all the dimensions will be scaled down by a factor of 4 right?

anonymous · Answer

1/4 th yes

anonymous · Answer

then i don't really see what the problem is. u shoudl have asked her.. how does it matter which is length or which is depth, as long as all the dimensions are being scaled down by the same amount? :O

anonymous · Answer

Yeah I asked her. Im waiting on a reply.

anonymous · Answer

thanks for trying though :)

anonymous · Answer

oww.. oki oki.. :)

I don't remember helping anyone with dimensions of a pool. I'm pretty sure it was not me helping you with this one @crystelle
