To find the volume of a rectangular prism (like a fish tank), you would multiply the length, width, and height.
Given:
Length = 36 1/2 in = 73/2 in
Width = 12 3/4 in = 51/4 in
Height = 18 1/2 in = 37/2 in
Volume = Length x Width x Height
Volume = (73/2) x (51/4) x (37/2)
Volume = (73 x 51 x 37) / (2 x 4 x 2)
Volume = 142,311 / 16
Volume = 8,894.4375 in^3
Volume = 8,894 7/16 in^3
Therefore, the closest option is 8,609 7/16 in^3.
