Question

The glass fish tank does not have a cover. Find the total area of the glass panels used to make the tank.

Answer 1

You will find the area of the 5 surfaces made of glass. There is a front, back, 2 sides, and the bottom. Each face is in the shape of a rectangle, so you will multiply the length by the width.
1. Front- 24 x 27 =648
Back-24 x 27 = 648
2. Side- 21 x 27 =567
Side - 21 x 27 = 567
3. Bottom - 21 x 24 = 504

Add all these together for your total amount of glass needed. The answer is 2934 square cm of glass.

Answer 2

2,934 $cm^{2}$

You are to solve for length x width for the 5 panels that were used for the tank.

24 x 27 = 648
24 x 27 = 648
21 x 27 = 567
21 x 27 = 567
21 x 24 = 504

When you add all areas together, the final answer is 2.934 $cm^{2}$
