A pool shaped like a rectangular prism is 40 feet long,20 feet wide and 4 deep. Attached to the side of the pool is aa hot tub with 1/4 the volume of the pool. What is the total volume of the pool and hot tub?

Let


length = 40 ft


width = 20 ft


depth = 4 ft


V = volume to the pool


(1/4)V = volume of the hot tub


The volume of the pool is:


V = length*width*depth


V = 40*20*4


V = 3,200 ft^3


The total volume of the pool and hot tub is:


V + (1/4)V = (5/4)V = (5/4)*3200 = 4,000 ft^3.
