    The pool is 8 feet deep

    Step-by-step explanation:

    In this question, we are asked to calculate the depth of a pool given the shape as being a rectangular prism and the dimension of the base rectangle including the value of the volume.

    Mathematically, for a rectangular prism, the volume is calculated as;

    V = L * W * H

    where l, w and h are length, width and depth/height respectively.

    now let's substitute the values in the equation to get the depth.

    This means;

    3,584 = 28 * 16 * H

    H = 3,584 / (28 * 16)

    H = 3,584/448

    H = 8
