jno

start by putting it all into imperial (miles, feet etc) or all into metric. Then multiply them together for a cubic measurement, pr9bably in feet or metres. Then divide by the 20 million. There should be a calculator on your computer.

Thanks. The question was written badly. The shape is not a box but like half an airship. (is it ellipsoidal ? ) It is the formula for that shape that I meant.

north star

4/3 'pi' x 2.25 miles x 1.5 miles x 348 m x 0.5

you will have to convert to all metric or all imperial
