Its C because the 18in is the height, the 12in is the width, the 24in is the length. Which you just multiply together.

Answer:

Option (c) is correct

The volume of aquarium is 5184 inche³

Explanation:

Given : An aquarium is 18 in. high, 12 in. wide, and 24 in. long.

We have to find the amount of water the aquarium can hold.

Since, To find the amount of water the aquarium can hold we have to find the volume of aquarium.

Since, aquarium is in shape of cuboid.

Volume of cuboid = length× width × height

Given :

Height = 18 in.,

Width =12 in.,

Length = 24 in.

Thus, the volume of aquarium = length× width × height

Substitute, we get,

the volume of aquarium = 24 × 12 × 18

Simplify, we get,

The volume of aquarium = 24 × 12 × 18 = 5184 inche³

Thus, The volume of aquarium is 5184 inche³
