Turtle Tank
Since we have been learning about volume, I wanted to put our learning to work. My brother said that he wasn't sure how many gallons his turtle tank could hold, so I measured all the lengths and used the formula. It turns out that the volume of this tank is about 44 US gallons. Note, if my brother ever wanted to figure out how many gallons he has currently in the tank, we could just use the same formula, find the volume, and subtract that from the original 44. (TF~2)
