Question

You are designing a large rectangular fish tank for your tropical fish. The length will be 1 yard 3 inches, the width will be 1.5 feet, and the height will be 20 inches. Part A Find the volume of the fish tank in cubic inches. The volume is ____ cubic inches.

Answer 1

`14040\text{ inch}^3`

Explanation:

GIVEN: You are designing a large rectangular fish tank for your tropical fish. The length will be
`1\text{ yard } 3\text{ inches}`, the width will be
`1.5\text{ feet}`, and the height will be
`20\text{ inches}`.

TO FIND: Find the volume of the fish tank in cubic inches.

SOLUTION:

We know that,

`1\text{ yard}=3\text{ feet}`

`1\text{ feet}=12\text{ inch}`

length of fish tank
`=1\text{ yard } 3\text{ inches}`

`=39\text{ inch}`

width of fish tank
`=1.5\text{ feet}`

`=18\text{ inch}`

height of fish tank
`=20\text{ inch}`

now, volume of fish tank
`=\text{length}*\text{width}*\text{height}`

`=39*18*20`

`=14040\text{ inch}^3`

Hence the volume of fish tank is
`14040\text{ inch}^3`
