Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

A fish tank is in the shape of cuboid.

It's height is 8 feet

and volume=1568 cubic feet

we know that volume of cuboid=lbh

where l is the length, b is the width and h is the height

The base of the tank is square

i.e. l=b

Volume=l²h

⇒ 1568=l²×8

⇒ l²=196

⇒ l=14

Hence, The length of base of tank=14 feet

width of tank=14 feet

and height=8 feet

volume = l x w x h

1568 /8 = 196

sqrt(196) = 14


each side is 14 feet
