Question

question 22 (4 points) estimate the number of gallons of water that will fit in the tank pictured below using the following information. assume you are filling an empty tank - meaning no decorative pieces in the tank. one gallon is equivalent to 231 cubic inches. round down to the nearest whole number. rectangular prism surface area = 2lw + 2hw + 2lh volume = lwh approximately 35 gallons approximately 33 gallons approximately 32 gallons approximately 31 gallons

Explanation:

Answer:

First, find the volume of the rectangular - prism tank. Given \(L = 32\) in, \(W = 12\) in, and \(H = 20\) in. The volume \(V = LWH=32\times12\times20 = 7680\) cubic inches. Since 1 gallon is equivalent to 231 cubic inches, the number of gallons \(n=\frac{7680}{231}\approx33.25\). Rounding down to the nearest whole number, the answer is Approximately 33 gallons. So the answer is Approximately 33 gallons.
