Volume?

[Fishes33]

Giving the following information...

The Length is 37", the width is 37" the height is 24.5" but the tank is not a square, and its an octagon.

Is it possible to find out how many gallon of water can this tank hold? or still missing some vital information?

AND YES I am bad at math

Are all eight sides equal length?

Are all eight sides equal length?

YES ^^

haha. of course it's possible. find out the volume of the whole oblong then subtract the four prisms.

 

[andyjs]

What's the length of each of the 8 sides?

Should be about 120g if I worked it out right.

yup 118g was what i got

calculated the area of a square of 37"
then calculated the area of the isosceles right triangle of 10.83"
then (area of square) - 4(area of triangle) = area of octagon
then (area of octagon)*height = volume of the tank
hope this helps


or

there are 8 triangles of height 18.5" and base 15.3"
so area of triangle is 141.5sq.inches
and then 8*area of triangle*height of tank=volume
