Explanation:

the volume of a rectangular block or tank is

length × width × height

so, it is like all regular 3D objects

base area × height.

so, we get

120 × 75 × 48 = 374,400 m³ = 3.744 × 10⁵ m³

why ?

374,400 = 374400 × 10⁰ = 37440 × 10¹ =

= 3744 × 10² = 374.4 × 10³ = 37.44 × 10⁴ =

= 3.744 × 10⁵
