Answer: Water in the container = 87.75 cu.inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula: Volume of rectangular prism = Base area x height
Base area = [tex]19\dfrac12[/tex] sq. inches Height = [tex]4\dfrac12[/tex] inches
So,
Volume of container = [tex]19\dfrac12\times4\dfrac12\text{ cu.inches}[/tex]
[tex]=\dfrac{39}{2}\times\dfrac{9}{2}\text{ cu.inches}[/tex]
[tex]=\dfrac{351}{4}\text{ cu.inches}[/tex]
[tex]=87.75\text{ cu. inches}[/tex]
Hence, Water in the container = 87.75 cu.inches.
