Question

The depth of the ocean is sometimes measured in fathoms (1fathom= 6ft). Distance on the surface of the ocean is sometimesmeasured in nautical miles (1 nautical mile=6076 ft). The waterbeneath a surface rectangle is 1.30 nautical miles by 3.30 nauticalmiles has a depth of 12.0 fathoms. Find the volume of water (incubic meters) beneath this rectangle.

Explanation / Answer

Convert everything to meters. 1 fathom = 6 ft = 1.8288 meters, 12 fathoms = 21.9456meters 1 nautical mile = 6076 ft = 1851.9648 meters, 3.30 nauticalmiles = 6111.4838 meters                                                                        1.30nautical miles = 2407.5542 meters Volume = L x w x h = 6111.4838 x 2407.5542 x21.9456 = 322,901,599.9704 cubic meters
