Respuesta :

Alright, lets get started.

The dimension of ice cream cake is :

lenght = 19 ft

width = 9 ft

height = 2 ft

The shape of cake is rectangular prism.

The volume of rectangular prism : w h l

Means volume of cake = 19 * 9 * 2

volume of cake = 342 cubic feet

We need to give our answer in nearest gallons.

1 gallon = 0.134 cubic feet or

0.134 cubic feet = 1 gallon

342 cubic feet = 342/0.134 = 2552.2388 gallons

To the nearest gallon = 2552 gallons

Hence the volume of cake = 2552 gallons : Answer

Hope it will help :)
