You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the volume of rectangle property = the volume of rectangle prism which is
V=L%2AW%2Ah
if 5in of rain falls on the property, means given is the height h=5in
also, given is W=50ft and L=100ft
convert h=5in into feet: 1Inch+=+0.08333333333Feet+, so h=5in=5%2A0.08333333333Feet=0.41666666665ft
so, the volume of rain water :
V=100ft%2A50ft%2A0.41666666665ft
V=2083.33333325ft%5E3
