Answer:

  7200 yd³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the water used is the product of the dimensions of the rectangular prism it occupied.

The base area is ...

  A = LW = (40 yd)(30 yd) = 1200 yd²

The depth of water used is 6 yd, so the total volume used is ...

  V = Bh = (1200 yd²)(6 yd) = 7200 yd³

7200 yd³ of water was used in the 3-month period.
