A rectangular water tank has the following dimension:
Length = 3 feet, Width = 2 feet, Height = 2.5 feet. Find the amount of water it can hold in cubic centimeter.

Respuesta :

Answer:

424,752.7 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you need to convert from English units to Metric units, you can do that first.

Convert each measurement to centimeters instead of feet since your final answer is in cubic centimeters.

1 foot = 30.48 centimeters

Length = 3 ft    30.48cm

              -----  x ------------    =  91.44 cm

                1            1 ft

Width =  2 ft       30.48cm

            -------  x  -------------  =   60.96 cm

                1             1 ft

Height = 2.5 ft      30.48cm

              --------  x  ------------  =  76.2 cm

                  1            1 ft

The volume is equal to L x W x H

91.44cm x 60.96cm x 76.2cm = 424,752.7 cubic centimeters
