    582.74 square inches of glass is required to construct the tank

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Base dimensions = 22 x 12 inches

    Volume of the fish tank = 3960 cubic inches

    Volume = l x w x h

    3960 = 22 x 12 x h

    h = 3960 / (22 x 12)

    h = 3960/462

    h = 8.57 inches

    The glass used = lateral surface area of the rectangular prism

    = 2 (lh + wl)

    = 2 (188.57 + 102.8)

    = 2 (291.37)

    = 582.74 square inches

    582.74 square inches of glass is required to construct the tank
