To find the length of the water tank, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:
Volume = length x width x height
Given that the volume of the water tank is 1700 cubic feet, the width is 10.5 ft, and the height is 9.2 ft, we can plug these values into the formula and solve for the length:
1700 = length x 10.5 x 9.2
1700 = length x 96.6
length = 1700 / 96.6
length ≈ 17.612
Therefore, the length of the water tank is approximately 17.6 ft.
