Question

The aquarium where Evan works has a special tank for the baby sharks. The tank is shaped like a rectangular prism and is 18 meters long by 15 meters wide. It is 8 meters from the bottom of the tank to the top. What is the volume of the shark tank?

Answer 1

The volume of the shark tank is
`2160 m^3`

Explanation:

The tank is in the shape of a rectangular prism.

The length of the tank,
`l=18` m.

The width of the tank,
`w=15` m.

The height of the tank,
`h=8` m.

We know that, volume of a rectangular prism
`=l* w * h`.

So, the volume of the tank
`=18* 15* 8=2160 m^3`

Hence, the volume of the shark tank is
`2160 m^3`.
