Answer:

This is part of a wider question with less details.

1.

The volume is the function of three dimensions.

The model has each dimension 6 times smaller.

The volume of the model will be:

  • 6³ = 216 times smaller

2.

Using the above information we can say that:

  • the volume of the actual tank is 216 times greater which is equivalent of 21500%.

3.

No info is given regarding the shape of the tank, so can't answer this.
