A septic tank in the shape of a rectangular prism must hold a volume of 234 cubic feet. If the width of the tank is 4.5 feet and the length is 8 feet, what is the height of the tank?

Answer 1

The height of the tank is
`6.5\ ft`

Explanation:

we know that

The volume of a rectangular prism is equal to

`V=LWH`

we have

`V=234\ ft^(3)`

`L=8\ ft`

`W=4.5\ ft`

Substitute the given values and solve for H

`234=(8)(4.5)H`

`H=234/[(8)(4.5)]=6.5\ ft`
