Answer 2

Answer: A: L: W: H = 10: 5: 8

Step-by-step explanation: The height of the tank is 18 feet longer than the width

H = 8 parts, W = 5 parts => 8 – 5 parts = 18 feet i.e. 3 parts = 18, 1 part = 6 feet

Hence, L = 10 * 6 = 60 feet

W = 5 * 6 = 30 feet

H = 8 * 6 = 48 feet

Volume = 60 * 30 * 48 = 86400 ft³

Surface Area = 2 * (30 * 60 + 48 * 60 + 30 * 48) =12240 ft²
