    V = (L * W * H) / 3

    A = L * W

    Base area = 92 square meters

    92 = L * W

    W = (92) / L

    Substitute W in the volume formula:

    4968 = [ L * (92) / L * 54 ] / 3; where L will cancel out and will leave you

    4968 = (92 * 54) / 3

    4968 ≠ 4968 : 3

    4968 ≠ 1656

    Therefor the volume provided should be 1656 cubic meters and not 4968 cubic meters
