Question

question a water tank is built in the form of a right rectangular prism, with dimensions that measure 13.1 ft by 7.5 ft by 7.2 ft. how many cubic feet of water would it hold when it is full? round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall volume formula

The volume $V$ of a right - rectangular prism is given by $V = l\times w\times h$, where $l$ is the length, $w$ is the width, and $h$ is the height.

Step2: Substitute values

Let $l = 13.1$ ft, $w = 7.5$ ft, and $h = 7.2$ ft. Then $V=13.1\times7.5\times7.2$.
First, calculate $13.1\times7.5 = 98.25$.
Then, calculate $98.25\times7.2=98.25\times(7 + 0.2)=98.25\times7+98.25\times0.2=687.75 + 19.65 = 707.4$.

Answer:

$707.4$ cubic feet
