base. The water is 25 cm deep. When he drops rocks

in liters of the rocks?
can someone help i am trying to help my sis with some work but have forgotten all this stuff thank you Answer by vleith(2983) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Fish tank is rectangular. Adding the rocks results in a rise of 2cm.
So adding the rock displaced enough water to fill a "slice" that is 2cm x 40cm x 70cm
The volume in that slice is cubic cm
1 Liter is 1000cc, so the rock has a volume of 5.6 liters.
