Practice makes perfect

We want to find the volume of the following aquarium.

The aquarium is a rectangular prism. We can find the volume of this prism using the following formula. V = l w h Looking at the given diagram, we can write that l= 24 inches, w= 12 inches, and h= 14 inches, so we have enough information to calculate the value of V.

V=l wh

SubstituteValues

Substitute values

V= 24( 12)( 14)

Multiply

V=4032

The volume of the aquarium is 4032 cubic inches. Therefore, answer D is correct.
