Answer:
2004 cubic inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Looking at the figure, there seems to be a chunk missing from the front. Since the overall length is 15 inches, and the length near the missing chunk is 12, then the missing length is 3. If that chunk was filled in, this would have been a 17 * 15 * 8 rectangluar prism. That would have been 2040 cubic inches. (120 * 17) However, a 3 by 8 by 3 triangular prism is missing.
1/2(3 * 8 * 3)
1/2(24 * 3)
1/2(72)
36
Now, subtract 36 from 2040.
2040 - 36
2004 cubic inches
2004 cubic inches of gas will fill this gas can.
