A reservior has a rectangluar base measuring 120 feet by 40 feet and is 9 feet deep.Find the area of the base and the amount of water the reservior holds when it is full.

A=L*W*H
120*40*9=43200
Area of Base = Width * Length = 120 * 40

The volume = 120 * 40 * 9 cubic feet.

Does the question want the answer in cubic feet or gallons? How many gallons (a liquid unit) are there in a cubic foot of volume?

I hope this helps a little more. Thanks for asking.
