The swimming pool for training scuba divers is 5.5 m deep and has a volume of 1375 m3.

The swimming pool for training scuba divers is 5.5 m deep and has a volume of 1375 m3. Determine the area of the pool bottom.

It is known:

Pool depth = 5.5 m;
Pool volume = 1375 m ^ 3.
Determine the area of the bottom of the pool.

Since the area of the pool is equal to the product of the length and the rin of the pool, and the volume of the pool is equal to the product of the length, width and depth, then we get the following formulas:

S = a * b;

V = a * b * c = S * c;

The volume and depth of the pool are known, then we can find the area of the pool.

V = S * c;

S = V / c;

Substitute the known values into the formula and calculate the area of the pool.

S = 1375 m ^ 3 / 5.5 m = 1375 / 5.5 m ^ 2 = 250 m ^ 2.

Answer: S = 250 m ^ 2.
