Answer:

[tex]V=45396.2\ cm^3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The dimensions of an aquarium are 61 cm long, 30.5 cm wide, and 30.5 cm high.

The tank is filled to 80% capacity with water.

We need to find the water needed for this tank.

The volume of cuboid is given by :

[tex]V=lbh[/tex]

As it is filled to 80% capacity, so,

[tex]V=\dfrac{80}{100}\times lbh\\\\=0.8\times 61\times 30.5\times 30.5\\\\V=45396.2\ cm^3[/tex]

So, [tex]45396.2\ cm^3[/tex] of water is needed for this tank.
