Question

Tyler filled up his hot tub, which is a right rectangular prism, with 480 cubic feet of water. The hot tub is 12 feet long and 10 feet wide. What is the depth of the water in the hot tub?

Answer 1

volume for a rectangular prism is length*width*height

480 = l * w * h (the volume equal to the equation. plug in values you know)

480 = 12 * 10 * h (multiply the right side)

480 = 120h (divide both sides by 120 to isolate the height)

height = 4 feet

height of the bathtub and depth are the same thing, so your answer is 4 feet
