Solution

To determine how much water is required to fill a rectangular aquarium, you need to calculate the volume of the aquarium. The volume V V of a rectangular prism can be found using the formula:

V=length×width×height V = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height}

Given the dimensions of the aquarium:

  • Length (l l ) = 3 feet
  • Width (w w ) = 2 feet
  • Height (h h ) = 2 feet

Substitute these values into the formula:

V=3feet×2feet×2feet V = 3 \, \text{feet} \times 2 \, \text{feet} \times 2 \, \text{feet}

V=3×2×2 V = 3 \times 2 \times 2

V=12cubic feet V = 12 \, \text{cubic feet}

Therefore, the aquarium requires 12 cubic feet of water to be filled.
