The total capacity in gallons of the rectangular tank is 866.58 gallons
Since the rectangular tank is 5 meters in height knowing that it will hold 200 liters per foot, we need to know the total capacity of water it contains for the height of 5 meters.
Converting 5 m to feet, we have
Since 1 m = 3.28 ft, we have
5 m = 5 × 1 m = 5 × 3.28 ft = 16.4 ft
Since the height of the tank in feet is 16.4 ft and the tank holds 200 L/ft, then the total capacity of water in 16.4 ft is D = 200 L/ft × 16.4 ft
= 3280 L
To know the total capacity of the tank in gallons,we convert 3280 L to gallons
Since 1 L = 0.2642 gallons, converting 3280 L to gallons, we have
3280 L = 3280 × 1 L = 3280 × 0.2642 gallons
= 866.576 gallons
≡ 866.58 gallons
So, the total capacity in gallons of the rectangular tank is 866.58 gallons
