Taylor Hubbard · Answer 1

To figure out the size of a rectangle that would represent the swimming pool, you will use the formula for volume of a rectangle or prism to solve for the area of the base.

V = Bh

1200 = 5B

B = 240 square feet

To get an area of 240 ft.², you could use the dimensions 10' x 24'. Another possibility would be 8' x 30'.
