very confused here, i have a tank that fits in the corner, meaning its triangle shape, only bought it 3 weeks ago, its one of those that comes with a cabinet underneath. I have been on a few web sites but all give different answers i have been told to measure length 31in x width 23in x height 22in and then divide it by 231 which is supposed to be cubic measures, totally thick when it comes to maths so can anyone help, PLEASE

If it's triangular, I suppose you could measure it WxLxH using the calculator and then divide it in half.

dizzied is right. His way is probably the easiest possible.
But I love math, so I gotta endulge: To get the volume in square inches, the formula is: (Area of base of tank) * (Height of Tank) The area of a triangle is (1/2) * (base of triangle) * (height) Use the two perpendicular sides as your triangle base and height. |
