A fish tank, in the shape of a rectangular prism with dimensions 40 in. by 17 in. by 26 in., is 95% filled with water. A solid log is placed into the tank, sinks to the bottom, and makes water spill out. The log is shaped like a cylinder with a radius of 3 in. and a height of 33 in. How much water spills out of the tank? Enter your answer in the box. Use 3.14 for pi.

We to need to solve volumes of the first tank ( a rectangular prism) and solid log (a cylinder).

The solution for the volume of the fish tank is shown below:
volume = l*w*h
volume = 40*17*26
Volume = 17,680 in³

Only 95% filled with water:
Volume filled w/ water = 17, 680 *0.95 = 16,796 in³

The solution for the volume of the solid log:
Volume = pi*r²*h
Volume = 3.14*3²*33 = 932.58 in²

The volume of the remaining water spilled out is shown below:
Remaining water volume = 16, 796 in³ - 932.58 in² =15,863.42 in²
Volume spilled out = 932.58 in³
