Jethro wants a swimming pool in his backyard, so he digs a rectangular hole with dimensions 40 feet long, 20 feet wide, and 5 feet deep. how many cubic feet of water will the pool hold?
65
8000
4000
40,000

Based on the given problem above, since the whole is rectangular, this means, we are going to find the volume of the rectangular hole. To find the volume of a rectangular prism, we simply multiply the length, width and the height.
So, 40*20*5 and the answer would be 4000. Therefore, the pool can hold 4,000 cubic feet of water. Hope this answer helps.
