Answer:

V = 238.875 m³

Explanation:

the U- shape tank is composed of two cuboids ( left and right) and a cube (centre )

the volume (V) of a cuboid is calculated as

V = length × width × height

the dimensions of both cuboids are

length = 4 m , width = 3.5 m , height = 7 m

V = 4 × 3.5 × 7 = 98 m³

the dimensions of the cube are

length = 3.5 m , width = 3.5 m , height = 3.5 m

V = 3.5 × 3.5 × 3.5 = 42.875 m³

the total volume (V) is the the sum of the 3 volumes

V = 98 + 98 + 42.875 = 238.875 m³
