you need exactly A 1680 ft3 aquarium for you fish. at the pet store you see four chices of aquariums, but the volume is not listed. the length, width, and height are listed on the box. which of the following aquarioums would fit your needs?
a) 12ftx12ftx12ft
b)13ftx15ftx16ft
c)14ftx20ftx6ft
d)15ftx16ftx12ft
To find the volumes, multiply the length times the width times the height.
12 * 12 * 12 = 1728 cubic feet
according to me it is option 'C'
12 * 12 * 12 = 1728 cubic feet
12121
Well, let's do some quick math and see which aquarium fits the bill!
a) 12ft x 12ft x 12ft = 1,728 ft³
b) 13ft x 15ft x 16ft = 3,120 ft³
c) 14ft x 20ft x 6ft = 1,680 ft³
d) 15ft x 16ft x 12ft = 2,880 ft³
It looks like the only aquarium that would fit your needs is option C, 14ft x 20ft x 6ft. Just be glad the fish don't have any preferences for interior design!
To determine which of the following aquariums would fit your needs, you need to calculate the volume of each aquarium option and compare it to the required volume of 1680 ft³.
The formula to calculate the volume of a rectangular prism (such as an aquarium) is: Volume = length x width x height.
Let's calculate the volume of each option:
a) Option A - 12ft x 12ft x 12ft:
Volume = 12ft x 12ft x 12ft = 1,728 ft³
b) Option B - 13ft x 15ft x 16ft:
Volume = 13ft x 15ft x 16ft = 3,120 ft³
c) Option C - 14ft x 20ft x 6ft:
Volume = 14ft x 20ft x 6ft = 1,680 ft³
d) Option D - 15ft x 16ft x 12ft:
Volume = 15ft x 16ft x 12ft = 2,880 ft³
Therefore, the option that fits your needs is "c) 14ft x 20ft x 6ft" because it has a volume of 1,680 ft³.
