Answer:

1. 75.82 m^3 (cubic meters)

2. 75820 L (Liters)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

L = 21 FT

W = 17 ft

h = 7 ft 6 in

Calculation

Formula to calculate volume is:

V= L×W×h

put the values in formula

V = 21 ft × 17 ft × 7 ft 6 in

V = 2677.5 ft

Now we will convert Cubic ft to cubic meters, as we know that 1 cubic meter is equal to 35.3147 cubic feet

V (m^3) = 2677.5 ÷ 35.3147

V (m^3) = 75.82 m^3

Now we will calculate liters

as we know that 1 cubic meter is equal to 1000 liters

so multiply the ans. with 1000

L = 75.82 × 1000

L = 75820 l
