Volume of a Rectangular Prism: V=lwh

l=50 cm
w= 30cm
h= 40 cm

Step 1: 50×30×40= 60,000

The volume of the tank is 60,000 cubic centimeters

The water reaches a height of 28 centimeters, or 2142.9 cubic centimeters per centimeter.

Step 2: 35× 2142.9= 75001.5 cubic centimeters

Step 3) 75001.5- 60,000= 15001.5 CUBIC CENTIMETERS ARE NEEDED TO FILL THE REST OF THE TANK TO A HEIGHT OF 35 CENTIMETERS

Hope this helps!
