To find how much water the cube can hold

⇒ must find volume

⇒ which is the amount of space that a shape occupies, or

that is enclosed within the shape

The volume of a cube-shaped tank:

⇒ is the length, width, and height multiplied together

⇒ since this is a cube, all the side lengths are equal

⇒ Volume = (side-length)^3

Based on the information given

⇒ side-length is 3.3 feet

Therefore:

Volume =
3.3^3 = 35.937ft^3

Thus the cube-shaped tank can hold 35.937 cubic feet of water

Answer: 35.937 cubic feet of water

Hope that helps!
