How to calculate the volume/weight of water

We have to find the volume of water in the aquarium.

Recall the shape of the aquarium is a rectangular prism. Therefore,

volume = lwh

where

  • l = length
  • w = width
  • h  = height

Therefore,

l = 3 ft

w = 2 ft

h = 1.5 ft

volume =  3 × 2 × 1.5

volume of water = 9 ft³

Therefore,

1 ft³= 62 pounds

9 ft³ = ?

cross multiply

weight of water = 9 × 62

weight of water = 558 pounds
