You have two dimensions labelled tall. 28 inches tall 32 inches tall
45*28*32
We can get the volume without knowing which is which but to find the water level we need know which is the real height 28 or 32
45*28*29 could be 36540 if it is 32 inches tall
45*32*25 could be 36000 if it is 28 inches tall
