Answer

The quantity of water that was used in three month period is\[9,000\text{ y}{{\text{d}}^{\text{3}}}\].

Work Step by Step

In order to determine the quantity of water that was used in three month period, one is required to compute the volume of the rectangular solid shaped with dimensions as length\[50\text{ yards}\], width\[30\text{ yards}\], and height\[6\text{ yards}\]. Compute the volume of the rectangular solid using the equation as shown below: \[\begin{align} & \text{Volume of the rectangular solid}=lbh \\ & \text{=}\left( 50\text{ yd}\times 30\text{ yd}\times 6\text{ yd} \right) \\ & =9,000\text{ y}{{\text{d}}^{\text{3}}} \end{align}\]
