Ira Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Just break it up into shapes that are easy to calculate their volume. rectangles and triangles, then it's all math they teach you when you're about 10. Find the area of the base, multiply by the height gives you cubic centimeters, 1000 CC/liter. Not exact because the front corners aren't perfect triangles, but it's close enough. Call it 145 liters.

DiverJohn Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Bored, had a crack... about 140l ? Did a bit of rounding for convenience like 91.5 became 91, 30.5 became 30 etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Errr...That's not the way you do it. I suppose it it would work if it were a square because that's what you're doing. Turning it into a square of the same perimeter...Which you can't do because it's not a square. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
