Answer: 15863.42 inches³

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the volume of a rectangular prism is expressed as

Volume = length * width * height

The sum of the prism are 40 inches by 17 inches by 26 inches. Therefore, the volume of the fish tank is

Volume = 40 * 26 * 17 = 17680inches³

The tank is 95% filled with water. This means that the volume of the tank filled with water is

95/100 * 17680 = 0.95 * 17680 = 16796 inches³

The formula for determining the volume of a cylinder is expressed as

Volume = πr² h

The cylindrical log has a radius of 3 inches and a height of 33 inches.

Volume = 3.14 * 3² * 33 = 932.58 inches³

The amount of water that spills out of the tank would be

16796 - 932.58 = 15863.42 inches³
