Question

An aquarium is in the shape of a rectangular prism. Its length is 24 inches, its width is 12 inches, and it's height is 14 inches. How much water can the aquarium hold?

Answer 1

Answer:

V= 4032 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, what we have here is a rectangular prism. A prism that has in its base a rectangle. Moreover, the capacity a rectangular prism holds, is given by this following formula:

V= Base Area * height

The Area of a Rectangle is width times the height. In addition, we multiply this by the height of the prism. Plugging it in:

$V=w.l.h\\ \\V=12*24*14\\ V=4032$ in³

So V= 4032 in³

If we divide 4032 it by 0.0163871 we convert into liters, so 4032 in³=66.07 liters

If we divide 4032 by 0.004329 we convert into gallons, so 4032 in³=17.45 gallons

Answer 2

You do 24 x 12 x 14.

                288 x 14 = 4032.

The answer is 4032
