Answer

$26km^2*2.0in=(26\times1000^2)m^2*(2.0*0.0254)m=1.3\times10^6 m^3$ $m=pv=(1\times10^3) *(1.3\times10^6)=1.3\times10^9 kg$

Work Step by Step

Volume equals to base area*height. Convert the unit to meter by using 1000m=1km and 1in=0.0254m p=m/v which gives us the formula of m=pv. Density of water is writing as kg/m$^3$.
