If a water tank is 6 feet long by 4 feet wide and 4 feet deep how much water can it hold?

Answer 1

Oh, dude, let's break out the math for this one. So, if we calculate the volume of the tank by multiplying its length, width, and depth (6 x 4 x 4), we get 96 cubic feet. Since 1 cubic foot is about 7.48 gallons, that tank can hold around 717.12 gallons of water. So, if you're planning a water balloon fight, you're gonna need a lot of balloons, like a lot.

Answer 2

Well, isn't that a lovely thought to imagine all that water peacefully resting in the tank? Let's calculate the volume of water it can hold using the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism, which is length times width times height. So, for this tank, it would be 6 feet times 4 feet times 4 feet, which equals 96 cubic feet of water. Just picture that serene water filling the tank, bringing tranquility to your day.

Answer 3

Easy answer - those are the inside dimensions of the tank, and it will hold its volume of water. Volume of a rectangular solid is Length times Width times Height. So, it will hold 6 ft x 4 ft x 4 ft of water = 96 cubic feet.

Fun answer: Those are the outside dimensions of the tank. Let the tank have a uniform thickness. Then, the volume it will hold is (6-2x)(4-2x)(4-x) =

96 -4x^3+36x^2-104x, x being the thickness in feet.

Even more fun: due to surface tension, the water can be filled to slighly above the top.

Trick answer: As tall as you can stack it, if the water is frozen.
