Question

A tank in the shape of a rectangular prism has a length of 22 inches a width of 12 inches and a height of 15 inches.If the tank is filled halfway with water,how much water is in the tank?

Answer 1

Answer:

1980 cubic inches of water us in the tank if it is filled halfway with water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A tank in the shape of a rectangular prism has a length of 22 inches a width of 12 inches and a height of 15 inches.

Now, to find the water in the tank, if the tank is filled halfway with water.

So, to get the volume of tank as given above dimensions using formula:

$Volume=length\times width\times height\\\\Volume=22\times 12\times 15\\\\Volume=3960\ cubic\ inches.$

Thus, the tank can be filled with 3960 cubic inches of water according to its volume.

Now, to get the volume of water tank if the tank is filled halfway with water:

So, by dividing the volume of tank by 2:

$\frac{3960}{2}=1980\ cubic\ inches.$

Therefore, 1980 cubic inches of water us in the tank if it is filled halfway with water.
