Swimming Pool Capacity and Calculations

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the volume of a rectangular swimming pool and determine how much water it can hold at full and 90% capacity. It begins by introducing the dimensions of the pool and the questions to be answered. The tutorial then demonstrates how to calculate the pool's volume using the formula for a rectangular prism. Next, it explains how to find 90% of the pool's capacity by converting the percentage to a decimal and multiplying. The video concludes with a summary of the findings.

What are the dimensions of the swimming pool mentioned in the problem?

• 25 feet by 16 feet by 5 feet
