Question

Find the width of a rectangular swimming pool ( in feet ), if it has a volume of $16,500$ cubic feet, a uniform depth of $10$ feet and a length of $75$ feet.

• A. $22$
• B. $26$
• C. $32$
• D. $110$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $22$

Volume of a rectangular parallelepiped $=$ length $\times$ breadth $\times$ height

$\therefore 16500=10\times 75\times$ width

$\therefore$ width $=\frac{16500}{10\times 75}=\frac{110}{5}=22$ feet
