Evan places a rectangular birdbath in his garden. The dimensions are 24, 8, and
1 1/2 in. Explain how to find the maximum amount of water the birdbath can hold. Then find the amount.

Answer :

Answer:

The volume is 28

Step-by-step explanation:

V = (24)x(8)x(1½) = 28 cubic inches

The maximum amount of water the birdbath can hold is 17.31 liter.

The formula to find the volume of rectangular box/prism:

The volume of a rectangular box/prism with length l, width w and height h,

V = l × w × h

For given situation,

Evan places a rectangular birdbath in his garden.

The dimensions of birdbath are 24, 8, 11/2.

the maximum amount of water birdbath can hold  = the volume of rectangular birdbath

We need to find the volume of the rectangular birdbath.

From given dimensions:

Assume that length (l) = 24

width (w) = 8

and height (h) = 11/2

The volume of the rectangular birdbath is,

[tex]=l\times w\times h[/tex]

[tex]=24\times 8\times \frac{11}{2}[/tex]

[tex]=1056[/tex] [tex]in^{3}[/tex]

So, the volume of the rectangular birdbath is 1056 cubic inch.

1056 cubic inch = 17.31 Liter

This means, the birdbath can hold 17.31 liter of water.

Therefore, the maximum amount of water the birdbath can hold is 17.31 liter.
