A fish tank has a length of 4 feet and width of 18 inches. The fish tank is 3 feet high and is filled to within 4 inches of the top of the tank. What is the volume of water in the tank?

Respuesta :

Answer:[tex]V=2\ ft^3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length of fish tank [tex]L=4\ ft[/tex]

Width of fish tank [tex]W=18\ in\approx 1.5\ ft[/tex]

Height of fish tank [tex]H=3\ ft[/tex]

Fish tank is filled up to a height of [tex]h=4\ in.\approx \frac{1}{3}\ ft[/tex]

Now volume of water in fish tank [tex]=L\times W\times h[/tex]

[tex]V=4\times 1.5\times \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

[tex]V=2\ ft^3[/tex]
