The new dolphin tank at the city aquarium is in the shape of a rectangular prism. It is 25 yd long by 14yd wide by 5yd deep. To make the tank livable for the dolphins, the aquarium workers treat the water using bags of salt. The amount of water a bag of salt can treat is known in cubic feet.

Respuesta :

The amount of water a bag of salt can treat is 47, 250 cubic feet

How to determine the volume

The formula for volume of a rectangle is expressed as;

Volume = length × width × height

From the information given, we have the following parameters;

  • Length = 25 yards
  • Width = 14 yards
  • Height = 5 yards

Substitute the values into the formula

Volume = 25 × 14 × 5

Find the product

Volume = 1750 cubic yards

Covertoing cubic yard to cubic feet

I cubic yard = 27 cubic foot

1750 yards = x

x = 27 × 1750

x = 47, 250 cubic feet

Thus, the amount of water a bag of salt can treat is 47, 250 cubic feet
