Math Problem Statement
A rectangular swimming pool has a volume of 2x 3+ 30 x 2+ 100 x cubic centimeters. Its width is 2x cm and its length is (x + 10) cm. Find the height of the swimming pool. Select your answer from the drop-down menu. h = Select... centimeter
Solution
We are given that the volume of the swimming pool is:
The dimensions of the pool are:
- Width
- Length
We are asked to find the height of the swimming pool.
The volume of a rectangular prism (like a swimming pool) is given by the formula:
Substituting the given values:
Simplify the right-hand side:
Now, substitute this back into the equation:
To find , divide both sides of the equation by :
Factor both the numerator and denominator:
Numerator:
Denominator:
Now, simplify the equation for :
Cancel out the common terms:
Finally, perform the division:
Thus, the height of the swimming pool is:
