Question

The scientists at ChemEx Research use chemical storage tanks.

The interior dimensions of a tank are 82.5 inches long, 58.5
inches wide, and 81.875 inches tall. What is the approximate
volume of the tank?

Answer 1

395149.22 cubic inches.

Explanation:

The volume of a tank with length (L), width (W) and height (H) is given by

V = LWH ........ (1)

Now, the interior dimensions of a tank are 82.5 inches long, 58.5 inches wide, and 81.875 inches tall.

So, L = 82.5 inches, W = 58.5 inches and H = 81.875 inches.

Therefore, V = (82.5 × 58.5 × 81.875) = 395149.22 cubic inches.

Hence, the approximate volume of the tank is 395149.22 cubic inches. (Answer)
