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. answer attempt 1 out of 2

Explanation:

Step1: Recall volume formula

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

Step2: Substitute values

Here, $l = 13.1$ ft, $w=7.5$ ft and $h = 7.2$ ft. So $V=13.1\times7.5\times7.2$.
First, $13.1\times7.5 = 98.25$.
Then, $98.25\times7.2=707.4$ ft³.

Answer:

$707.4$
