yes, it was... is actually the same

think about it, how many inches are there in 1 gallon?   is given btw

anonymous · Answer

Okay Thanks!!!

anonymous · Answer

But basically first of all convert everything to the same units  cm3 or in3

jdoe0001 · Answer

notice that the tray is just a "rectangular prism" type of shape
so to know how much it can take, just multiply its Length x Width x Height

compare that against that 1 gallon of paint, and you'll notice the difference

I recommend work with in3      to check  B C and D     you can later convert your in3 to cm3 to check  A
