the rectangular pool at your swim club is 100 meters long and 50 meters wide. how many more meters will you swim if you go along the edges of the pool rather than diagonally across the pool? round to the nearest tenth. ​

Answer:

If we divide the pool into two parts, the upper part is a regular cuboid shape with dimensions 25m, 50m and 1 meters.

Volume of the upper cubiod = 25 x 50 x 1 = 1250 m³

Volume of the lower cubiod = 25 x 50 x 3 = 3750 m³

As the pool is involving only half of the volume of the lower cuboid, this volume will be 3750 ÷ 2 = 1875 m³

Hence, volume of the swimming pool = 1250 + 1875 = 3125 m³
