A rectangular tank, 7.41cm by 8.52cm by 36.9cm is completely filled with oil. Find:
a) the volume of oil in the rectangular tank.
V = 7.41 * 8.52 * 36.9
V = 2329.6151 cu/cm
:
b) the length of the side of a cubical tank if the oil is to be stored in a cubical tank.
In a cubical tank the 3 dimensions are the same L, find the cube root
:
L = 2329.6151%5E%281%2F3%29
L = 13.2565 cm
