The trash cans distributed by the city of mobile are approximately 4 feet tall and have a square cross section with a side of approximately 30 inches. assuming that the trash can is rectangular, approximate its capacity: 4. a. in gallons b. in metric tons of water at 4°c

Explanation:

Length of trash cans = l = 4 feet

Breadth of trash cans =  b = 4 feet

Height of trash cans =  h = 30 inches = 2.5 feet

1 inches = 0.0833333 feet

Capacity of trash can = Volume of the rectangular trash can = V

V = l × b × h

a)

b) Density of water at 4°C = 1 kg /L

1 metric tonne of water = 264.17 gallons of water
