Question

An aquarium measures 61 cm long, 30.5 cm wide, and 30.5 cm high.If the tank is only filled to 80% capacity with water, how much water is needed for this tank? Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary. .

Answer 1

Answer:

$V=45396.2\ cm^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The dimensions of an aquarium are 61 cm long, 30.5 cm wide, and 30.5 cm high.

The tank is filled to 80% capacity with water.

We need to find the water needed for this tank.

The volume of cuboid is given by :

$V=lbh$

As it is filled to 80% capacity, so,

$V=\dfrac{80}{100}\times lbh\\\\=0.8\times 61\times 30.5\times 30.5\\\\V=45396.2\ cm^3$

So, $45396.2\ cm^3$ of water is needed for this tank.
