Find the surface area of the water in the aquarium if 15 liters of water fills it by 2.5 dm.

The aquarium is a rectangular parallelepiped.

It is known that its volume is equal to the product of three sides:

V = a * b * c.

According to the problem, the aquarium contains 15 liters of water: V = 15 liters = 15 dm³.
c – the height of the water column, c = 2.5 dm.

Find the surface area:
S = a * b = V / c = 15 / 2.5 = 6 dm².

Answer: The surface area of the aquarium is 6 dm².
