Answer:


Volume = 960in^3

Explanation:

Given

Empty Tank


Length = 24in; Width=10in; Height = 12in

When filled with water, the height is:


Height = 8in

Required

Determine how many more cubic inches needed

First, we calculate the difference between the height of the tank and the height of the water.


H = 12in - 8in


H = 4in

The volume of water to full the tank is then calculated as:


Volume = Length * Width * H


Volume = 24in * 10in * 4in


Volume = 960in^3
