Question

Harry is building a fish tank that is a square prism.He wants the height of the tank to be 6 inches longer than the length and the width. If s= 13 inches, what's the volume of the tank

Answer 1

3042in³

Explanation:

Volume of the square prism = Base area * Height

Since the base is a square;

Base area = s²

s is the side length of the square

Given s= 13 inches,

Base area = 13²

Base area = 169in²

If he wants the height 6 inches longer than the width and the length, then the height will be:

Height = 13 + 6 = 18 inches

Get the volume

Volume of the square prism = 169in² * 18in

Volume of the square prism = 3042in³
