Question: 1 / 400

How many gallons of water are in a basement measuring 30' × 25' with a water depth of 6' 9"?

27,000 Gallons

37,867.5 Gallons

To determine the volume of water in the basement, you first need to calculate its cubic footage. The formula to find the volume of a rectangular prism (which a basement is) is length × width × height.

In this case, the measurements given are:

- Length: 30 feet

- Width: 25 feet

- Height: Depth of water: 6 feet 9 inches

First, convert the depth from feet and inches to feet only. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, 9 inches is equal to 0.75 feet. Therefore, 6 feet 9 inches converts to:

6 + 0.75 = 6.75 feet.

Now, plug the values into the formula:

Volume = 30 feet × 25 feet × 6.75 feet.

Calculating this gives:

Volume = 30 × 25 = 750 square feet.

Then, multiply the area by the height:

750 square feet × 6.75 feet = 5062.5 cubic feet.

Next, to convert cubic feet to gallons, use the conversion factor that 1 cubic foot is approximately 7.48 gallons:

5062.5 cubic feet × 7.48 gallons/cubic
