dimensions of fish tank=30 cm×20 cm×20 cm
volume of tank=12000 cm ³
volume of water=¾×12000=9000 cm ³
height of water level is given by,
lbh=volume of tank
30×20×h=9000
=>h=15
then, surface area=2[(20×15)+(30×15)]+(30×20)=2100 cm ²

Dimensions of Cuboidal fish tank:

    Length L = 30 cm.   Breadth = B = 20 cm.    Height = H = 20 cm
   
If the tank is 3/4 th full of water, it means that it is filled up to 3/4th of its height. 

    So water is filled upto  h = 20 cm * 3/4 = 15 cm.

Surface area of the floor (base) of the tank
     = L * B = 30 * 20 = 600 cm²

Surface area of the walls of the tank up to height = h = 15 cm:
       = 2 L h  + 2 B h
       = 2 * 30 cm * 15 cm + 2 * 20 cm * 15 cm
       = 1500 cm²

Total area in contact with water
   = 600 + 1500
   = 2, 100 cm²
