Question

The sea turtle habitat at the zoo is made by connecting two large aquariums. The first aquarium is 6\text { m}6 m6, space, m long, 4\text { m}4 m4, space, m wide, and 2\text { m}2 m2, space, m high. The second aquarium is 8\text { m}8 m8, space, m long, 9\text { m}9 m9, space, m wide, and 3\text { m}3 m3, space, m high. How many cubic meters of space do the sea turtles have in their habitat?

Answer 1

First aquarium dimensions:

Length = 6 m.

Width = 4 m and

Height = 2 meter.

Second aquarium dimensions:

Length = 8 m.

Width = 9 m and

Height = 3 meter.

We know formula for volume of a cuboidal box = Length*Width*Height.

Plugging values of length, width and height of first aquarium in formula of volume. We get

V1 = 6*4*2 = 48 m^3.

Plugging values of length, width and height of second aquarium in formula of volume. We get

V2 = 8*9*3 = 216 m^3.

In order to find the total cubic meters of space do the sea turtles have in their habitat, we need to add both volumes.

Therefore, Total voulme of both aquarium = V1 +V2 = 48+216 = 264 m^3.

Therefore, total 264 m^3 cubic meters of space the sea turtles have in their habitat.
