Description

The depth of the ocean is sometimes measured in fathoms (1 fathom = 6 feet). Distance on the surface of the ocean is sometimes measured in nautical miles (1 nautical mile = 6076 feet). The water beneath a surface rectangle 2.70 nautical miles by 2.00 nautical miles has a depth of 28.0 fathoms. Find the volume of water (in cubic meters) beneath this rectangle.

Explanation & Answer

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!

Convert all measurements to meters;

2.70  n. miles=16,405.2 feet =5002.15 meters

2.00 n.miles =12,152 feet=3705.30 meters

28 fathoms=168 feet=51.22 meters

multiply all of them

5002.15* 3705.30*51.22


=949,335,368.8 cu. Meters.
