Question

Nicholas has a fish tank that is 12 inches high, 14.5 inches long, and 6.5 inches wide. If he fills the tank halfway with water, how many cubic inches of water are in the tank?

Answer 1

answer is 565.5 in^3

Explanation:

Answer 2

565.5 in^3

Explanation:

To find the full volume of the tank

V = l*w*h

We know 12 inches high, 14.5 inches long, and 6.5 inches wide.

Substituting in

V = 12 * 14.5*6.5

V =1131 in ^3

He is filling it 1/2 full, that would be 1/2 of the volume

1/2 V = 1131/2 = 565.5 in^3
