Step 1

The volume of a rectangular shape can be found using the formula length times width times height. In this case, the length is 30 ft, the width is 19 ft, and the height (or depth) is 1.5 ft. So, the volume of the pool is $30 \times 19 \times 1.5 = 855$ cubic feet. Show more…

Key Concepts

Volume of a Rectangular Prism

This concept involves calculating the volume of a three-dimensional object with a rectangular shape. The formula is obtained by multiplying its length, width, and height. Understanding this principle is essential for determining the capacity or storage space within a defined rectangular space.

Unit Conversion

This concept is about converting one unit of measure to another using a given conversion factor. In practical applications, converting the volume from one unit (such as cubic feet) to another (such as gallons) is vital for ensuring that measurements meet the requirements of a specific problem or real-world context.
