Answer:


Volume = 594m^3

Explanation:

Given


Length = 5.5m


Breadth = 12m


Height =18m

Required

The volume when it is half full

The height, when half full is:


h = 0.5 *Height


h = 0.5 *18m


h = 9m

So:

The volume is:


Volume = Length * Breadth*h


Volume = 5.5m * 12m * 9m


Volume = 594m^3
