Mohit is triying to determine how much cubic water can fit in his rectangular kitchen sink. he measures the sink and finds that the square base has a side lenght of 20 inches and a depth of one foot. how much cubic water can the sink hold

Rectangular kitchen sink of Mohit can hold 4800 cubic inches

Given that Mohit is trying to determine how much cubic water can fit in his rectangular kitchen sink.

The square base of sink has a side length of 20 inches.

Depth of the sink is 1 foot.

Need to determine how much cubic water can sink hold.

To determine how much cubic water can sink hold , we need to determine volume of sink

Volume of sink = area of square base x depth of the sink

Area of square base =

Where "a" is the length of side

Here a = 20 inches

As side length of square base is in inches and dept is in foot , we need to convert foot into inches so that all the units of measurement are same.

As 1 foot = 12 inches,  

=> depth of the sink = 12 inches

=Volume of sink = 20 x 20 x 12 cubic inches  

=> Volume of sink = 4800 cubic inches

Hence rectangular kitchen sink of Mohit can hold 4800 cubic inches.
