To calculate the volume of a rectangular tank, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Volume} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} \times \text{Height}
\]
In this case, the dimensions of the fish tank are:
- Length = 3 feet
- Width = 1.5 feet
- Height = 2 feet
Now, plug in the values into the formula:
\[
\text{Volume} = 3 \, \text{feet} \times 1.5 \, \text{feet} \times 2 \, \text{feet}
\]
Calculating step-by-step:
1. Multiply the length and width:
\[
3 \times 1.5 = 4.5 \, \text{square feet}
\]
2. Now, multiply that result by the height:
\[
4.5 \times 2 = 9 \, \text{cubic feet}
\]
Therefore, the volume of the fish tank is **9 cubic feet**.
\[
