Answer:


\Huge\boxed{270in^3}

Explanation:

Hello There!

A rectangular terrarium is pretty much a rectangular prism

So it says that the volume of the terrarium is filled halfway with cubic inches of dirt and they want us to find how much cubic inches of dirt they used to fill half of the terrarium. So our objective is to find the volume of the terrarium and divide that by two ( because only have of the terrarium was filled.)

The formula for volume of a rectangular prism is


A=lwh

where l = length w = width and h = height

these dimensions are given

w = 9 in

l = 6 in

h = 10 in

so all we have to do is plug in the values


A = 6*9*10\\10*6=60\\60*9=540

So the volume of the terrarium is 540^3

our final step is to divide by 2


(540)/(2) =270

so 270 cubic inches of dirt was used to fill up half of the terrarium
