Answer:
1740 cubic feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
A tank is in the shape of a rectangular prism.
Area of base = 116 square feet
Height of the tank = 30 feet
Question asked:
How many cubic feet of water would the tank contain when it is filled halfway?
Solution:
Area of rectangular base = 116 square feet
[tex]Length\times breadth=116[/tex]
As we know:
[tex]Volume\ of\ rectangular\ prism=length\times breadth\times height[/tex]
[tex]=116\times30=3480\ cubic\ feet[/tex]
That means capacity of tank is 3480 cubic feet.
When it is filled halfway, it will contain =
[tex]\frac{1}{2} \ of\ volume=\frac{1}{2}\times3480=1740\ cubic feet[/tex]
Thus, tank will contain 1740 cubic feet of water when it is filled halfway.
