Answer 1

Yes, the aquarium will fit in 15 cubic feet of space.

Explanation:

Given:

An aquarium has a base area of 6 square feet and a height of 2 feet.

Now, to find will the aquarium fit in 15 cubic feet of space or not.

So, as given the dimensions:

Base area = 6 square feet.

Height = 2 feet.

Now, to get the volume of aquarium by using formula:

`Volume=base\ area* height\\\\Volume=6* 2\\\\Volume=12\ cubic\ feet.`

As, the volume of aquarium is 12 cubic feet.

And, the aquarium to be fit in 15 cubic feet space. So, 15 is more than 12.

Thus, the aquarium will be fit in 15 cubic feet space.

Therefore, the aquarium will fit in 15 cubic feet of space.
