Question

An aquarium measures 61 cm long, 30.5 cm wide, and 30.5 cm high.If the tank is only filled to 80% capacity with water, how much water is needed for this tank? Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary. .

Answer 1

`V=45396.2\ cm^3`

Explanation:

Given that,

The dimensions of an aquarium are 61 cm long, 30.5 cm wide, and 30.5 cm high.

The tank is filled to 80% capacity with water.

We need to find the water needed for this tank.

The volume of cuboid is given by :

`V=lbh`

As it is filled to 80% capacity, so,

`V=(80)/(100)* lbh\\\\=0.8* 61* 30.5* 30.5\\\\V=45396.2\ cm^3`

So,
`45396.2\ cm^3` of water is needed for this tank.
