The volume of the water in the tank is 316 cubic feet.
What is volume?
Every "3-dimensional space object occupy space. This space is measured in terms of volume".
According to the question,
A water tank is 12 feet high, 5 feet long, and 9 feet wide.
Volume of rectangular water tank = length × breadth ×height
= 12 × 5 × 9
= 540 cubic feet.
A solid metal box which has 7 feet high, 4 feet long and 8 feet wide and sitting in the bottom of the box.
Volume of rectangular metal box = length × breadth × height.
= 7 × 4 × 8
= 224 cubic feet.
The tank is filled with water in order to find volume of the water in the tank only if we subtract volume of rectangular metal box from Volume of rectangular water tank.
= 540 - 224
= 316 cubic feet.
Hence, the volume of the water in the tank is 316 cubic feet.
