To calculate the capacity of the swimming pool, we determine its volume. Since the swimming pool is rectangular, the formula for the volume is:

$\text{Volume} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} \times \text{Depth}$

Given dimensions:

• Length ($l$) = 8 meters
• Width ($w$) = 6 meters
• Depth ($d$) = 3 meters

Substitute these values into the formula:

$\text{Volume} = 8 \times 6 \times 3 = 144 \, \text{cubic meters}$

The capacity of the swimming pool is 144 cubic meters.

Additional Information:

1. If you want the capacity in liters, multiply the volume by 1,000 (since 1 cubic meter = 1,000 liters). $\text{Capacity in liters} = 144 \times 1,000 = 144,000 \, \text{liters}.$
