Question

A tank is in the shape of a cube with edge length of 6 feet. Find the number of cubic feet of water needed to fill the tank. Then find the number of cubic yards of water needed to fill the tank. (Hint: 3 ft = 1yd)

Solution

Step 1
1 of 2

The volume of a cube with edge length ee is given by:

V=e3V=e^3

Given that e=6e=6 ft, the number of cubic feet of water needed to fill the tank is:

V=63V=6^3

V=216 ft3V=\color{#c34632}216\text{ ft}^3

In cubic yards,

V=216 ft3×(1 yd)3(3 ft)3=8 yd3V=216\text{ ft}^3\times \dfrac{(1\text{ yd})^3}{(3\text{ ft})^3}=\color{#c34632}8\text{ yd}^3
