Answer:1.8701

Step-by-step explanation:

Area (A) of trapezium as marked is =[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex][tex]\left ( sum\ of\ parallel\ sides\right )\times height[/tex]

A=[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex][tex]\left ( 3+6\right )\times 4[/tex]

A=18[tex]in^2[/tex]

Now for Volume we have to multiply by length because area is same across the length.

volume(v)=[tex]A\times length[/tex]

Volume(v)=[tex]18\times 24[/tex]

Volume(v)=432 [tex]in^3[/tex]

Volume(v)=1.8701 gallon
