How many galllons is a 2 feet 7 inches tank?
In order to calculate the capacity of the tank, you have to know its shape, and every dimension of that shape. For example, if it's the shape of a sphere, you need one number ... the radius of the sphere. If it's the shape of a cylinder, then you need both the radius of the end and the length of the cylinder ... two numbers. If the tank is the shape of a brick, then you need to know the length, width, and height ... three separate numbers. In your question, you haven't even told us the shape of the tank, so no answer is possible.
