A rectangular container measuring 20 centimeters by 18 centimeters by 24 centimeters is partially filled with water. The container is completely filled to its brim after 3600 cubic centimeters of water are poured into the container. How much water was in the container at.

5040 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimensions of the Container = 20 centimeters by 18 centimeters by 24 centimeters.

Volume of the Container=20 X 18 X 24 = 8640cm³

If the container is completely filled to its brim after 3600 cubic centimeters of water are poured in.

We are required to find the Initial Volume of Water in the Container.

Volume of Container = Volume of Water Added + Volume already in the Container

8640 = 3600+Volume already in the Container

Volume of water already in the Container = 8640-3000 = 5040 cm³
