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.

Let us determine the area of the bottom of the pool for training scuba divers, if the volume of the pool is 1375 m ^ 3, and its depth is 5.5 m.

The pool has the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped. The volume of a rectangular parallelepiped is equal to the product of the area of the base and the height.

In order to find the area of the pool, you need to divide the volume of the pool by its depth.
We get:

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

Hence we find that the area of the bottom of the pool for training scuba divers is 250 m ^ 2.

Answer: S = 250 m ^ 2.
