From the question, we can deduce the following:
Length = 5.6 meters
Width = 7.3 meters
Height = 4.5 meters
Where:
1 ft = 0.3048 m
1 cubic foot = 7.48 gallons
Let's find the amount of gallons of water in the tank if the tank is filled to 1 foot below the top of the tank.
Let's first sketch the tank.
We have:
Now, let's find the volume of the tank(total amount of water it can carry).
Apply the formula:
[tex]V=l\times w\times h[/tex]
Thus, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} V=5.6\times7.3\times4.5 \\ \\ V=183.96m^3 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Now, to find the amount of water presently in the tank since it is filled 1 ft below the top of the tank, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} V=5.6\times7.3\times(4.5-0.3048) \\ \\ V=5.6\times7.3\times4.1952 \\ \\ V=171.5m^3 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Therefore, the volume of the water in the tank is 171.5 cubic meters.
Now, let'c convert from cubic meters to gallons.
Where:
1 foot = 0.3048 m
[tex]1meter=\frac{1}{0.3048}=3.28\text{ feet}[/tex]
Thus, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 1\text{ cubic meter = 3.28}^3=35.29\text{ cubic f}eet \\ \\ 171.5\text{ cubic meters = 171.5 x 35.29 = }6052.235\text{ cubic fe}et \end{gathered}[/tex]
Now, to convert from cubic feet to gallons, where:
1 cubci foot = 7.48 gallon
We have:
[tex]6052.235\times7.48=45273.86\text{ gallons}[/tex]
Therefore, there are 45273.86 gallons of water filled in the tank.
